Question 16: Which statement about the Layer 3 card on the Cisco Nexus 5500 Series Switch is true?
A. BGP support is not provided, but RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF support is provided.
B. Up to two 4-port cards are supported with up to 160 Gb/s of Layer 3 forwarding capability.
C. Up to 16 FEX connections are supported.
D. Port channels cannot be configured as Layer 3 interfaces.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
From the Cisco NX-OS 5.1(3)N1(1) release and later releases, each Cisco Nexus 5500 Series device can
manage and support up to 24 FEXs without Layer 3.
With Layer 3, the number of FEXs supported per Cisco Nexus 5500 Series device is 8. With Enhanced
vPC and a dual-homed FEX topology each FEX is managed by both Cisco Nexus 5000 Series devices.
As a result, one pair of Cisco Nexus 5500 Series devices can support up to 24 FEXs and 16 FEXs for
Layer 2 and Layer 3.
