An engineer manages hundreds of Cisco Nexus Series and 9000 Series Switches that are installed at several data centers and wants to use one of the built-in automation tools of the Cisco NX-OS Guest Shell to automate daily activities. The engineer requires a tool that uses imperative language, has extensive support, and is object-oriented. Which automation tool should be used to meet these requirements?

A network consultant reviews the requirements for the Storage Area Network (SAN) design. The proposed solution must offer a very efficient port usage and eliminate the need for a separate physical layer of switches and their associated ISLs. The design is not expected to require future expansion.
Which SAN topology must be used to meet these requirements?

An engineer seeks a solution to retrieve routing information from Cisco Nexus switches. The data must be exported to a web application in a JSON or XML data format for monitoring and must be encrypted during transmission. The solution must not require extensive knowledge to support and should be simple to implement.
Which technology accomplishes these goals?

A customer must deploy a new Cisco HyperFlex stretched cluster solution to ensure virtual server availability in case the data center fails. The current network environment provides multiple geographic locations. Which action must be taken to meet these objectives?

A network consultant evaluates the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect SAN configuration, which must meet these requirements:
All traffic must pass over the upstream device for switching and domain IDs must be preserved in the fabric.
Each server should be pinned to one designated upstream interface and for the traffic to pass through the pinned port.
Which Fabric Interconnect SAN operational mode meets these requirements?
