QuestionQ56

ONTAP SAN implementation testing and troubleshooting

A storage administrator has just finished an iSCSI implementation in a VMware customer environment and must confirm that the complete network path supports jumbo frames.

Which action should be performed?

  • A Ping from the host without fragmentation.
  • B Check the VMkernel adapter settings.
  • C Check the broadcast domain settings.
  • D Ping from the host with fragmentation.
Explanation

A jumbo-sized ping sent with fragmentation disabled verifies that the entire path can carry the frame without splitting it. If any host, virtual switch, physical switch, or storage endpoint does not support the required MTU, the test fails rather than succeeding through fragmentation.
