A. B. C. D.A.
When a VSAN is deleted that contains non-trunking ports, those ports are moved to VSAN 1 by default.
A VSAN (Virtual SAN) is a logical entity within a Fibre Channel SAN (Storage Area Network) that provides isolation, security, and scalability. A VSAN can contain one or more ports, and each port can be assigned to only one VSAN at a time.
When a VSAN is deleted, all the ports that belong to that VSAN are moved to the default VSAN, which is VSAN 1. This is because VSAN 1 is a reserved VSAN that exists on all switches in the fabric, and it cannot be deleted or renamed. By moving the non-trunking ports to VSAN 1, the switch ensures that the ports are not left unassigned or orphaned.
It's important to note that if the VSAN that is being deleted contains trunking ports, those ports will be automatically removed from the trunk group and returned to their default VSAN. Additionally, if any zoning configurations or aliases exist within the VSAN being deleted, those configurations will also be removed.
Option A, "The ports are moved to VSAN 4094," is incorrect because VSAN 4094 is a reserved VSAN that is used for special purposes, such as inter-switch communication or as a placeholder for unused ports. It's not used to store non-trunking ports from deleted VSANs.
Option C, "The ports are removed from the configuration," is incorrect because non-trunking ports are not removed from the configuration when a VSAN is deleted. Instead, they are moved to VSAN 1.
Option D, "The port configurations are cleared," is incorrect because the port configurations are not cleared when a VSAN is deleted. The port configurations are simply moved to a different VSAN (in this case, VSAN 1).
