Which component is upgraded by using an EPLD upgrade on a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

An EPLD (Electronic Programmable Logic Device) upgrade on a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch is used to upgrade the field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). FPGAs are integrated circuits that can be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing -- hence ''field-programmable''.They are used in Cisco switches to provide hardware functionalities in all modules, and EPLD image upgrades enhance hardware functionality or resolve known issues1.

I'm leaning towards option C, the field-programmable gate arrays, since it seems to fit with what EPLD stands for.

I feel like I saw something about BIOS upgrades in the context of Nexus switches, but it might not be relevant here.

I remember practicing a question about fabric extenders, but I don't think that's what EPLD upgrades target.

I think the EPLD upgrade is related to the field-programmable gate arrays, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term for it.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know EPLD has something to do with programmable logic devices, but I'm not sure how that specifically applies to the Nexus 9000 switch. I'll have to make an educated guess here.

Okay, let me see here. An EPLD upgrade is likely related to the hardware components, so I'm going to rule out the software-based options like BIOS and ISSU. I'll go with C - field-programmable gate arrays.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with EPLD upgrades on Cisco Nexus 9000 switches. I'll need to think this through carefully and review my notes.

The EPLD upgrade is definitely for the switch's internal lighting system. Gotta make sure those status LEDs are blinking in perfect harmony.

Hmm, the EPLD upgrade must be for the switch's fashion sense. I heard Nexus 9000s can really rock the runway these days.

The EPLD upgrade is used to upgrade the control plane processor, which is the brain of the Nexus 9000 switch. This is a crucial component that needs to be kept up-to-date.

Actually, it's the fabric module because EPLD upgrades are used to update the firmware on the fabric modules for improved performance and functionality.
