D-PSC-MN-01 practice question 4 of 25

Which external network ports are available on Dell EMC PowerScale Gen 6.5 nodes?

Full set: 101 questions

Answer options

A: 10GigE, 25GigE, or 40GigE

B: 10GigE, 25GigE, or 100GigE Correct answer

C: 1GigE, 25GigE, or 100GigE

D: 1GigE, 10GigE, or 25GigE

Correct Answer:

B. 10GigE, 25GigE, or 100GigE

Explanation

Gen 6.5 systems (F200, F600, F900) ship with SFP28 ports capable of 10 GbE or 25 GbE and QSFP28 ports capable of 100 GbE. These are the only factory-supported external network speeds on Gen 6.5 hardware, so the valid set of possible connections is 10 GigE, 25 GigE, or 100 GigE.

Why Incorrect

A. 40 GbE interfaces are not offered on Gen 6.5 nodes.
C. 1 GbE is not supported on Gen 6.5 platforms.
D. 100 GbE capability is missing from this list.
