without consuming user ports.

What satisfies these requirements?

A) ISLs
B) ICLs
C) F_Port trunking
D) Extended Fabric trunking

The DCX 8510 Backbone switches have optionally licensed optical ICL ports available on the core blades.
These ports can be used in place of user ports for creating ISL trunks between other DCX 8510 switches.

4) You have decided to use trunking between a Brocade HBA and a Brocade switch in your fabric.

Which two must be configured to enable this? (Choose two.)

A) a static trunk area on the switch ports
B) a port area on the switch ports
C) a static trunk area on the HBA ports
D) a port area on the HBA ports

You have to create a user defined static trunk area using the porttrunkarea command on the switch, and
configure trunking on the switch ports. Nothing is done at the HBA level.

5) Which two licenses are required to enable all ICL connections between two Brocade 8510-8 Backbones?
(Choose two.)

A) ICL 8-link
B) ICL 16-link
C) Inter Chassis Link (1st POD)
D) Inter Chassis Link (2nd POD)

ICL ports on DCX 8510s use POD licenses. On the 8510-8 both POD licenses are required to activate all of
the available ICL ports.
Section 2

6) You are using a Brocade 1860 Fabric Adapter to connect to FC SAN storage which is connected to a
Brocade DCX.

A) Connect both Fabric Adapter ports to an FC8-32 blade in the DCX and enable Mixed-Mode on the adapter
ports.
B) Connect both Fabric Adapter ports to an FCoE10-24 blade in the DCX and enable Mixed-Mode on the
adapter ports.
C) Connect one Fabric Adapter port to an FCoE10-24 blade in the DCX.
D) Connect one Fabric Adapter port to an FC8-32 blade in the DCX.

These two are the only supported options of those listed. Mixed-Mode would not be set on the adapter ports.

7) You have been instructed to use a provided certificate to enable secure management access to your fabric
devices while also integrating logins with your current company infrastructure.

What would you use?

A) RADIUS
B) LDAP
C) RBAC
D) SNMP

LDAP supports both certificates and integrated logins.

Referring to the ag output, which statement is true for a server connected to port 1 of the Access Gateway?

A) The server will lose connectivity if port 16 of the Access Gateway goes down.
B) The server will lose connectivity if port 17 of the Access Gateway goes down.
C) The server will failover to port 17 if port 16 of the Access Gateway goes down.
D) The server will failover to port 23 if port 17 of the Access Gateway goes down.

Based on the Brocade Access Gateway (AG) mapping, F_Ports 0 and 1 are being mapped into the fabric
using N_Port 16.

10) What does Access Gateway mode provide?

A) gateway address for IP adapters
B) N_Port access to a fabric
C) additional edge switch domain access through E_Ports
D) zoning management for the fabric

Brocade Access Gateway (AG) is a Fabric OS feature that you can use to configure your Enterprise fabric to
handle additional devices instead of domains. You do this by configuring F_Ports to connect to the fabric as
N_Ports, which increases the number of device ports you can connect to a single fabric. Multiple AGs can
connect to the DCX enterprise-class platform, directors, and switches.
Section 3

11) You need to review Fabric Watch settings on a Brocade DCX 8510-4.

Which tool do you use?

A) Brocade Host Connectivity Manager
B) Brocade Configuration Utility
C) Brocade SAN Health
D) Brocade Web Tools

Web Tools provides a graphical listing of all the configured Fabric Watch thresholds on a switch.

12) You have just run the free versions of the SAN Health Diagnostics Capture utility and SAN Health
Professional.

Which three critical tasks can you perform based on this report? (Choose three.)

A) taking inventory of devices, directors, and switches
B) display flows identified by Top Talkers
C) display end-to-end monitor results
D) capture and display historical performance data
E) assess performance statistics and error conditions

SAN Health is a free tool provided by Brocade to assist administrators in document their fabric infrastructure
and isolating possible faults in a fabric.

13) You believe you have a server that is timing out. In Fabric OS v7.0 you want to find discarded frames due
to timeout reasons.

Which monitoring utility would you use?

A) spi nf ab
B) Frame Viewer
C) firmware history log
D) RASlog

You can use the framelog command to log information about frames that have been discarded due to a
timeout.
Section 4

14) Your SAN requires proactive monitoring and prevention of link congestion.

Which two Brocade Fabric OS features, when combined, can provide this functionality? (Choose two.)

A) bottleneck detection
B) admin domains
C) virtual fabrics
D) ingress rate limiting

Admin domains and virtual fabrics do not provide proactive monitoring.

15) You need to identify the devices which are using the greatest percent of bandwidth on an ISL of a
Brocade 6510.

Which tool determines the high-bandwidth devices?

A) Host Connectivity Manager
B) Top Talkers
C) Web Tools port admin panel
D) Data Center Fabric Manager

Top Talkers can be used to determine which ports in a fabric are using the most bandwidth. With this
information an administrator will know where to observe for possible congestion and bottleneck issues.

16) Which two statements about TI zones over FC routers are true? (Choose two.)

A) Traffic isolation zones failover mode must be enabled in the edge fabrics and backbone fabric.
B) Traffic isolation over FC-FC routing is supported from edge fabric to edge fabric.
C) Traffic isolation zones failover mode must be disabled in the edge fabrics.
D) Traffic isolation over FC-FC routing is supported from backbone devices to edge devices.

TI zones are supported in edge-to-edge routing scenarios.
Section 5

17) When using Brocade Network Advisor to manage device sharing with FC-FC routing, which two
statements are true? (Choose two.)

A) The LSAN zones are automatically added to the active configuration of each fabric involved in the zone.
B) When selecting the devices to be shared, EX_Ports are automatically created to each fabric involved.
C) You launch the LSAN zoning tool from each edge fabric context.
D) You launch the LSAN zoning tool from the backbone router context.

Brocade Network Advisor simplifies the creation of LSAN zones in routed fabrics. Since Network Advisor has
visibility to all discovered fabrics the LSAN Zone Tool is able to create the necessary LSAN zones in every
fabric simultaneously.

18)

In the exhibit, which two long-distance solutions will accomplish FC-FC routing and minimize the impact of
failed connectivity between the Brocade 7800s on the SAN devices at each remote end? (Choose two.)

A) Port A =EX_Port Port B =E_Port Port C=E_Port Port D =EX_Port
B) Port A =E_Port Port B =VEX_Port Port C=VE_Port Port D =E_Port
C) Port A =EX_Port Port B =VE_Port Port C=VE_Port Port D =EX_Port
D) Port A =EX_Port Port B =VE_Port Port C=VEX_Port Port D =EX_Port

By using edge-to-edge routing between the two 6510 switches, a failure of the long distance link can be
minimized on the edge fabrics.

19)

Referring to the graphic, which three statements are true? (Choose three.)

A) The fabric ID of the backbone is 100.
B) The Domain ID of the xlate phantom switch is 1.
C) The physical device shown is imported into fabric ID 100.
D) The proxy devices are physically attached to fabric ID 2.
E) The physical device shown is imported into fabric ID 2.

The device is in an edge fabric and the proxy devices are using a PID with a domain of 1 and being imported
into FID 100.

20)

Referring to the graphic, FC-FC routing has been properly configured. The ISL has failed.

Which statement is true?

A) One of the IFLs will segment.
B) FC-FC routing is not affected.
C) New xlate domains will be created.
D) A new FID will be dynamically created.

Switch 2 and Switch 3 are configured with the same FID. When the ISL between the two switches fails, the
backbone will have IFLs to two separate fabrics with the same FID. This is not a valid FC-FC routing
configuration.

Section 6

21)

ISLs have been created from VE12 to VE16, and VE13 to VE17.

Referring to the graphic, how many FCIP circuits have been created?

A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 6

A VE_Port is made up of multiple circuits, each circuit consists of an IP source and destination pair.

22)














Open Systems Tape Pipelining (OSTP) has been configured in the environment shown in the graphic.

Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

A) Switch A responds to completed I/Os by automatically sending the next read operation to the tape device.
B) Switch B responds to completed I/Os by automatically sending the next read operation to the tape device.
C) Switch A responds to the host with cached data when the host sends the next read command.
D) Switch B responds to the host with cached data when the host sends the next read command.

OSTP can be used to enhance the performance of sequential access devices especially when working over
long distance links where latency may become a factor.
23) Your application is using an average frame size of 1024 bytes across your long distance links.

Which distance must be configured to fully saturate the link?

A) half the actual distance
B) twice the actual distance
C) three times the actual distance
D) four times the actual distance

Buffer credits are allocated based on a full FC frame (2048 bytes of payload). Since the frames are half the
size twice the distance should be configured in order to force the switch to assign enough buffer credits to
saturate the link.

You have configured ports 0-2 on your Brocade 6510 to a distance of 50 km at 16 Gbps. As shown in the
output, additional buffers were allocated to port 2 only.

What is the reason for this?

A) Credit recovery is enabled.
B) Forward error corrections is enabled.
C) Trunking is enabled.
D) Quality of Service is enabled.

When QoS is enabled on an E_Port the switch will use a 16 VC model for transmitting. The 16 VC model has
more data pipes available and requires additional buffer credits to be assigned to the additional VCs.
Section 7

25) The Frame Viewer feature is able to help diagnose which type of problem in a complex fabric?

A) out of order frames to end devices
B) short/runt frames
C) frames discarded due to timeout
D) frames which have been routed through the same switch more than once

Frame viewer only supports timeout frames in Fabric OS v7.0.

26) You have several fabrics consisting of Brocade 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, and 4 Gbps products. You would like a
single management product for troubleshooting, monitoring, and management of your fabrics.

Which product would allow you to accomplish this?

A) Brocade SAN Health
B) Brocade Data Center Fabric Manager
C) Brocade Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager
D) Brocade Network Advisor

Brocade Network Advisor provides fabric and IP administrators a single unified tool for managing all of their
Brocade products.

27) Your customer reports performance problems in their fabric. You exercise a "SuperPing" to isolate the
issue.

Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

A) "SuperPing" requires that all switches in the fabric run Fabric OS v7.0 or later.
B) "SuperPing" tests all ISLs and the internal links included in the paths that route to the destination.
C) You use f cpi ng without any options.
D) You must use f cpi ng - - al l pat hs.

SuperPing is an extension of the fcping command. Where fcping only tests a single path (determined by
the switch routing parameters) SuperPing will test all available paths between the two devices.

28) The network administrator is notified of a port login problem occurring between two devices across an
FCIP tunnel. "Supportsaves" were taken on both end switches to determine if the frames were being dropped
on the FC links or by the switch blades. Support has concluded that frames were not dropped.

Which action determines if the connected FCIP tunnel is dropping the frames?

A) Capture an FTrace and send to support for decoding.
B) Execute a D_Port test on the FCIP tunnel.
C) Capture an FC trace and send to support for decoding.
D) Execute net per f from one of the switches.

FTRACE is a support tool used primarily by your switch support provider. FTRACE can be used in a manner
similar to that of a channel protocol analyzer. Use this to troubleshoot problems through a Telnet session
rather than sending an analyzer or technical support personnel to the installation site.
