[All NS0-516 Questions]

Click the Exhibit button.

You ordered a NetApp E2812 Duplex 16GB 10 GbE Base-T system.

Referring to the exhibit, what is the maximum number of 10GbE Base-T ports available to be used?

D12

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The exhibit shows the supported adapter cards for the E2812 system with specific marketing part numbers.

The E2812 system ordered is a Duplex 16Gb 10GbE Base-T system with the adapter card part number X-56023-00-0E-C, which is described as 'HIC.E2800.10Gb Base-T.2-ports, -C'.

Each card provides 2 ports.

Given that the system is duplex, it means it has two controllers, each capable of supporting one card.

Therefore, each controller can have one 10GbE Base-T card with 2 ports, resulting in a maximum of 4 ports available in total for the system.

I’m not sure, but 4 feels too low for this system.

I'll go with B) 4, because that's the number of ports I can actually afford to use in my budget.

Trick question, the real answer is 11 ports - 12 ports minus the 1 port that's already been used to connect the system.

Hmm, I'm going with C) 6 since the system is a "Duplex" configuration.

I’m leaning towards 12 ports based on what I studied, but I might be mixing it up with another system. I need to double-check the specs!

I feel like it could be 6 ports, but I can't recall the exact details from my notes. I should have reviewed the port configurations more thoroughly.

I think the maximum number of 10GbE Base-T ports is 8, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about the E2812 having a specific configuration.

This is straightforward. I can see the port layout in the exhibit and count the number of 10GbE Base-T ports to arrive at the answer.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The exhibit doesn't seem to provide all the information I need to determine the maximum number of ports. I'll have to make an educated guess.
