A. B. C. D. E.

CE.

Before enabling a Cisco UCS Manager domain for Cisco Intersight connectivity, the following two settings must be configured:

  1. NTP Servers: NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers should be configured to ensure that the Cisco UCS Manager domain has accurate and synchronized time. Accurate time is critical for event correlation, logging, and troubleshooting.

  2. DNS Servers: DNS (Domain Name System) servers should be configured to ensure that the Cisco UCS Manager domain can resolve domain names to IP addresses. This is required for communication with Cisco Intersight, as well as for other network services such as LDAP, SMTP, and syslog.

Therefore, the correct answers are C. NTP servers and E. DNS servers.

SMTP servers, SMTP reply-to address, and syslog redirection are not required to be configured before enabling a Cisco UCS Manager domain for Cisco Intersight connectivity. However, these settings may be configured later to enable email notifications or redirect system logs to a remote syslog server.
