You are designing a data center network. This customer requests that you connect the data center core their firewalls. The customer uses six VRFs for segmentation, and the firewalls are responsible for handling traffic in all of the VRFs.
What is the recommended design for the links between the data center core switches and the firewalls?

• A. Link 1 and Link 3 should be one VSX LAG. Link 2 and Link 4 should be another VSX LAG.
• B. Link 1 and Link 2 should be one VSX LAG. Link 3 and Link 4 should be another VSX LAG.
• C. All links should be in the same VSX LAG.
• D. Each link should be a routed-only port (ROP) in a /31 subnet.

What is a key reason to interview the customer's storage team during data center network design, even if the network team owns the project?

• A. Storage protocols like FC, FCoE, iSCSI, or NVMe-oF may impose specific fabric requirements (e.g., lossless Ethernet, dedicated VLANs, zoning)
• B. Storage teams have no relevant network requirements
• C. Storage teams only care about server hardware, not networking
• D. It is unnecessary since storage traffic never traverses the data center network

Waratah Hospital, based in Australia, is planning to move many data center services to new facility. (The remaining legacy data center will not be part of this project.) Waratah Hospital hired an external consultant to assist with the new data center network design.
Based on the requirements for the data center network infrastructure, the external consultant has created a high-level design. The below summarizes the content of the design document.
Requirements and information:
- Six racks in the data center room (single row).
- Redundant Top of Rack leaf switches with back-to-front cooling in each rack, providing 10/25 Gbps connectivity to servers, storage, and other devices.
- Four 100 GbE uplinks per leaf switch.
- The customer requested to install all switch ports facing the back of the rack racks (hot aisle.)
- OOB management for servers, storage, and network has to be provided through an external switch with back-to-front cooling. This switch has to be included in the solution. One OOB switch provides connectivity for two racks.
- Core equipment for the OOBM network is being reused.
- Middle-of-row spine switches.
-The data center should connect to the hospital building with links that provide 400 Gbps.
- Internet access is provided through an existing firewall cluster with two firewalls, each firewall in one data room. The second firewall is operating in standby mode, VRRP is utilized on the firewalls for failover. The data center network should connect to these firewalls with links that total
100 Gbps.
- The external link is a dark fiber direct link based on single-mode fiber (OS2). The distance to the main hospital 1.5 KM. The links will terminate on two core switches in the hospital.
The customer also requires:
- 99.999% uptime for this life-critical environment.
- Planned and unplanned downtime has to be minimized.
- Software upgrades are only allowed once per year with close to zero downtime.
- All life-critical resources are accessed locally, and all resources exist within the hospital campus.
- Waratah Hospital requires a highly secure environment for the data center. Encrypted wire speed connectivity between the data room and the hospital is a must-have because the link between the buildings crosses a public road.
- Waratah Hospital has a mix of virtualized (vSphere) servers. Nutanix storage, bare metal servers, backup servers and other devices.
In the past, the hospital has had a security breach that resulted in data loss, network downtime, and identity theft.
What are valid assumptions that can be made for this scenario when creating the network design documentation? (Choose two.)

• A. Sufficient cabling between data centers will be available.
• B. Sufficient virtualization resources for the deployment of software will be available.
• C. Hardware delivery will meet project timelines.
• D. The customer's budget for the project will be met.
• E. The customer s staff can implement the project.

Which document is most useful for capturing the customer's non-negotiable requirements versus features that are merely desirable, early in the design engagement?

• A. Rack elevation diagram
• B. Bill of materials (BOM)
• C. Requirements traceability matrix (RTM) or MoSCoW-prioritized requirements list
• D. Cable management plan

You are choosing switches for a new rack, which needs to support several types of traffic including HTTPS multicast streaming, and iSCSI traffic You are attempting to choose between CX 8360v2-32Y6C and CX 8325-48Y8C models both of which can meet the racks' port requirements. Which technical requirement should point you toward the 8325 model?

• A. A requirement to route the multicast traffic across multiple subnets
• B. A requirement to allocate two different specific amounts of buffer space to platinum-tier and to gold-tier iSCSI storage
• C. A requirement to support a mix of 10GbE and 25GbE server connections
• D. A requirement to support both IP ECN AND PFC
