After upgrading a client's fabric interconnect to the latest version, an engineer discovers that the appliance has lost its entire configuration. Which two locations should an engineer check to confirm that the appliance had backed up the configuration prior to the upgrade in order to retrieve the lost configuration? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: A,D
The correct action is Equipment FSM page, InternalBackup stage; Equipment FSM page, PollInternalBackup stage. Cisco UCS troubleshooting depends on the relationship between policy, inventory discovery, firmware state, and server identity. The question involves fabric interconnect, so the selected option fixes the UCS component or policy that directly controls the failure. In UCS Manager, service profiles, vNIC/vHBA templates, boot policies, firmware packages, server pools, adapters, fabric interconnects, and I/O modules are applied through a managed model; a server can fail even when basic IP reachability exists if the relevant policy is incomplete or the hardware inventory has not been acknowledged correctly. The distractors typically change an unrelated object, force a disruptive recovery without fixing the policy, or apply to a different UCS mode. Cisco guidance is to verify faults, FSM stage, inventory status, association status, and the specific boot or connectivity policy before taking action. After the remediation, validate that the fault clears, the FSM completes, and the server or fabric component returns to the expected operable state.
300-615 Exam Question 32
Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator must delete a feature group from a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch. Which action resolves the issue?
Correct Answer: B
Cisco troubleshooting logic supports Detach the association with the no role command within the feature- group configuration mode as the required fix. In this question the symptoms point to Cisco Nexus, and the defect is best handled by correcting the exact control-plane or consistency condition. Nexus platforms can show interfaces or peers as configured while still refusing to forward traffic if a vPC Type-1 parameter, VLAN allowance, MTU, HSRP version, EVPN route, or routing attribute is wrong. Cisco methodology is to avoid broad resets unless the state machine is stuck; instead, correct the mismatched parameter and verify that the resulting operational state becomes stable. The other choices do not remove the root cause, or they modify a setting that is not used by the failing protocol exchange. After the change, the engineer should review the peer status, route or MAC table, and counters for drops or inconsistency messages. That sequence proves that the network fabric is fixed, not merely restarted.
300-615 Exam Question 33
Refer to the exhibit. After a failover occurs, which two actions must be performed on Switch-B to manually preempt the operational primary role back to Switch-A? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: B,E
Cisco troubleshooting logic supports Configure the local vPC role priority to have a higher value than Switch- A; Disable and then re-enable the vPC peer link as the required fix. In this question the symptoms point to vPC, and the defect is best handled by correcting the exact control-plane or consistency condition. Nexus platforms can show interfaces or peers as configured while still refusing to forward traffic if a vPC Type-1 parameter, VLAN allowance, MTU, HSRP version, EVPN route, or routing attribute is wrong. Cisco methodology is to avoid broad resets unless the state machine is stuck; instead, correct the mismatched parameter and verify that the resulting operational state becomes stable. The other choices do not remove the root cause, or they modify a setting that is not used by the failing protocol exchange. After the change, the engineer should review the peer status, route or MAC table, and counters for drops or inconsistency messages. That sequence proves that the network fabric is fixed, not merely restarted.
300-615 Exam Question 34
Refer to the exhibit A Cisco UCS system (ails to access the storage array. Which two actions taken on both MDS switches resolve the issue? (Choose two.) Configure a port channel with both interfaces as members
Correct Answer: A,C
The selected resolution is Change the switch port mode to an E port; Issue the no shutdown command on interface fct ' 24 because the failure is in the Fibre Channel/FCoE control path around MDS, UCS. Cisco MDS and Nexus platforms separate configuration from operational state: a VSAN, zone, vFC binding, device alias, or port-security entry can exist in configuration but still fail if it is not active, correctly merged, or allowed on the link. The correct option addresses the fabric condition that prevents communication. The incorrect options are technically adjacent but would not repair the specific dependency; for example, changing unrelated databases or resetting ports without correcting policy leaves the same failure to recur. Cisco SAN troubleshooting therefore starts with port role and VSAN checks, then confirms fabric services such as fcdomain, FSPF, zoning, fabric binding, and name-server information. The expected validation is that the port becomes operational, the initiator and target appear in the appropriate databases, and permitted zone members can communicate.
300-615 Exam Question 35
Refer to the exhibit A Cisco VXLAN must use bidirectional PIM so that *Spine2 is the active RP for multicast group 225 0 0 0V24 *Loopback 254 is used as a logical interface for PIM configuration After configuration was applied, Spine1 became the active RP for multicast group 225.0.0.0/24 instead of Spine2. Which action resolves the issue?
Correct Answer: D
Cisco troubleshooting logic supports Modify the subnet mask of Loopback 254 to ' 30 on Spine2 as the required fix. In this question the symptoms point to VXLAN, and the defect is best handled by correcting the exact control-plane or consistency condition. Nexus platforms can show interfaces or peers as configured while still refusing to forward traffic if a vPC Type-1 parameter, VLAN allowance, MTU, HSRP version, EVPN route, or routing attribute is wrong. Cisco methodology is to avoid broad resets unless the state machine is stuck; instead, correct the mismatched parameter and verify that the resulting operational state becomes stable. The other choices do not remove the root cause, or they modify a setting that is not used by the failing protocol exchange. After the change, the engineer should review the peer status, route or MAC table, and counters for drops or inconsistency messages. That sequence proves that the network fabric is fixed, not merely restarted.
