Configuring Failback Timeout for a Standalone Cisco C-Series Server
Question
An engineer configures the properties of a Cisco UCS Cisco Integrated Management Controller network adapter for a standalone Cisco C-Series Server.
The Failback Timeout in the vNIC was set to 600
When the failure occurs, the secondary interfaces must be used and then failback when the primary interface becomes available again.
Which action must be taken to meet these requirements?

A. B. C. D.C.
To meet the requirements of using the secondary interfaces when a failure occurs and then failback to the primary interface when it becomes available again on a standalone Cisco C-Series Server, the engineer needs to enable Uplink Failover. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
Uplink Failover allows the system to automatically fail over to the secondary uplink when the primary uplink fails. This provides redundancy and ensures that the network connection remains available. When the primary uplink becomes available again, the system fails back to the primary uplink.
The Failback Timeout setting in the vNIC determines how long the system waits before failing back to the primary uplink after it becomes available. In this case, the Failback Timeout was set to 600, which means that the system will wait for 10 minutes before failing back to the primary uplink after it becomes available.
The other answer choices, setting default VLAN on the adapters, increasing CoS to 6, and disabling VNTAG mode, are not related to the requirements of using the secondary interfaces and failing back to the primary interface. Therefore, they are incorrect answers for this question.
