A customer wants to connect a NetApp AFF A700 system to a 40GbE switch. The controllers have a 10/40G Ethernet card in slot 4 for this purpose. The link comes up fine on node 2, but it will not come up on node 1. You look at the AutoSupport data for the nodes in question and see the output shown in the exhibit.

What is the cause of the customer's problem?

What if the cable is just plugged in wrong?

I agree, wrong cable could be the culprit.

Wait, could it really be the SFP? That seems odd.

I think it's definitely a port configuration problem.

Sounds like a cable issue to me.

I feel like the cable type could be a factor too, but I can't recall if it was specifically mentioned in our practice. Maybe it’s worth considering the incorrect cable option?

I’m a bit confused about the SFPs. If the wrong one is inserted, would that definitely prevent the link from coming up?

I think I saw a similar question where the issue was related to port configuration. Could it be that the ports are set for 4x10Gbit instead of 40Gbit?

I remember something about checking the cable type, but I'm not sure if it could be upside down. That seems unlikely, right?

The incorrect SFP inserted in the port is another potential problem I'll need to investigate. This exam question requires a methodical troubleshooting approach.

Hmm, the cable being plugged in upside down or the wrong cable being used could also be possibilities. I'll need to verify the physical connections.

The ports being configured for 4x10Gbit instead of 40Gbit sounds like the most likely issue here. I'll double-check that setting.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully analyze the AutoSupport data to identify the root cause.

Okay, I've got this. The recruitment and admissions leader is definitely a key role, since they'll be the main users of the Salesforce system. And the university tech VP would also need to be involved to ensure the integration goes smoothly.

Okay, I've got this. Locale settings, record type assignment, and feature license assignment are the three settings that control a user's profile.

Yes, that could also be the cause of the issue.

Or maybe the SFP inserted is not compatible.

That's a good point, it could be the configuration.

But what if the ports are configured incorrectly?

I agree with it could be the cable.

I think the problem is with the cable.

Looks like it. Node Tasia needs to be reconfigured for 40Gbit.

So, the ports on node are configured incorrectly?

Node Tasia shows '4xTasia0Gbit' while node Kimi shows '40Gbit'.

Let's check the AutoSupport data for both nodes.

The link is not coming up on node .
