Cisco 300-615 Exam - Topic 6 Question 117 Discussion

An engineer configures FCoE between a set of ESXi hosts and a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch. The Converged Network Adapter of the host fails to receive the response from the Cisco Nexus device. Also, the VFC interface is in a down state and the FIP adapter fails to receive 802.1q tagged frames. The host interface is configured for VLAN trunking. Which action resolves the issue?
B) Configure the UF link as a spanning-tree edge port
A) Activate the reception of Xoff pause frames from the server
C) Enable the active STP port state on the bound Ethernet interface
D) Set the bound Ethernet trunk interface to non-FCoE native VLAN

Hmm, D) Set the bound Ethernet trunk interface to non-FCoE native VLAN - that's what I would go with.

I think the non-FCoE native VLAN option could be the right choice since it directly relates to how the traffic is managed on the trunk.

I'm a bit confused about the pause frames. I know they can affect traffic flow, but would activating them really solve this issue?

This question feels similar to one we practiced where the STP state was crucial. I think enabling the active STP port might help.

Okay, I think I've got it. The issue is with the VLAN configuration on the trunk interface. Option D seems like the right solution to set the bound Ethernet trunk interface to a non-FCoE native VLAN. I'll go with that.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. There are a lot of technical details to consider. I'll need to carefully read through the question again and try to visualize the network setup to determine the best course of action.

Alright, this is a good test of my FCoE knowledge. I'm pretty confident I can figure this out. I'll start by ruling out the options that don't seem relevant to the specific problem described.

Okay, let me see here. The key seems to be the VFC interface being down and the FIP adapter not receiving the 802.1q frames. I'm leaning towards option D, but I'll double-check the other choices.
