SNIA S10-300 Exam - Topic 10 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for SNIA's S10-300 exam
Question #: 15
Topic #: 10
[All S10-300 Questions]

Your SAN currently has eight server ports and eight disk ports on one 16 port switch. Each server

port requires 80 MB/s of one-way bandwidth, spread out evenly among the storage devices. The

customer would like to add 28 server ports along with 28 disk ports. Each server will evenly

distribute its traffic on each disk. Using 16 port 1 Gb switches, which topology should you select

to minimize the number of switches and ISLs required?

Point-to-point is too limiting for this setup, I think.

Wait, are we really adding 28 more ports? That sounds like a lot!

Core-edge could work too, but it depends on the load.

I disagree, full mesh might be better for redundancy.

Star topology is the way to go for minimizing switches.

Full mesh seems like it would require too many ISLs, so I’m leaning towards core-edge, but I need to double-check the bandwidth calculations.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like the star topology could work, but I’m not confident it’s the most efficient for this scenario.

I think the core-edge topology might be a good choice since it can handle a lot of connections without needing too many switches.

I remember studying about switch topologies, but I'm not entirely sure which one minimizes the number of switches.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the details and think about the different performance events that could be reported.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the details of the swaption comments. I'll need to re-read that part carefully to make sure I understand the difference between a payer and receiver swaption and which one is correct for the given scenario.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different protocols and their functions to figure out which one unifies the control plane.

I remember practicing questions where HTTPS was mentioned. Could it be that?
