NetApp NS0-593 Exam - Topic 8 Question 55 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-593 exam

Question #: 55
Topic #: 8

You have a NetApp ONTAP cluster consisting of four NetApp FAS8200 controllers with two NetApp CN1610 cluster switches running ONIAP 9.8 software. You are receiving several alert messages stating that the cluster network has degraded. After troubleshooting, you determine that the errors are being generated from Node 2, interface e0b.

In this scenario, what should you do first to solve this problem?

AReplace the Twinax cable between Node 2, Interface e0b. and the NetApp CN1610 switch.

BReplace the motherboard on Node 2.

CReplace both NetApp CN1610 switches.

DReplace the NetApp CN1610 switch that connects to Node 2, interface e0b.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

According to the NetApp Knowledge Base, packet traces are stored in the /etc/log/packet_traces directory of the node hosting the LIF. This applies to ONTAP 9.10 and above systems. For ONTAP 9.2 to 9.9 systems, the procedure to capture packet traces is similar, but the command syntax is slightly different. For ONTAP pre-9.2 systems, the procedure is different and requires the use of the tcpdump command.Reference=How to capture packet traces on ONTAP 9.10+ systems,How to capture packet traces (tcpdump) on ONTAP 9.2 to 9.9 systems,How to capture packet traces in ONTAP pre-9.2

Really? A cable could cause that much trouble? Seems odd.

D makes sense, focus on the switch connected to Node 2.

Definitely not C, replacing both switches is too much.

I think replacing the motherboard is overkill, B seems wrong.

Sounds like a cable issue, I'd go with A.

I’m a bit confused about whether to replace the switch or the cable first. I guess it depends on how severe the alerts are.

This question feels similar to one we practiced where we had to troubleshoot a degraded network. I think focusing on the switch connected to Node 2 might be the right approach.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think replacing the motherboard seems too drastic for just a network issue.

I remember we discussed the importance of checking physical connections first, so maybe replacing the Twinax cable could be a good start.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Replacing the motherboard on Node 2 seems like a pretty drastic step, unless there's some additional context I'm missing. I'd start with the cable and see if that resolves the issue.

Okay, let's see. The errors are coming from Node 2, interface e0b, so I'd probably try replacing that Twinax cable first. It's the most likely culprit based on the information provided.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure here. The question mentions the cluster network has degraded, so it could be an issue with the switch or the node itself. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This seems like a pretty straightforward troubleshooting scenario. I'd start by checking the Twinax cable between Node 2 and the switch, since that's the interface generating the errors.

Whoa, hold up! What if the problem is with the motherboard and not the cable or switch? Option B shouldn't be overlooked, you know.

Ah, the old 'replace everything in sight' approach. I like it! Though, seriously, I'd probably start with option A as well.

I'm not sure I agree with you, Luisa. What if the issue is with the switch itself? Replacing both switches seems like a safer bet to me.

D seems like the logical choice to me. If the problem is specific to Node 2's interface, then replacing the switch connected to that interface is the way to go.
