 The correct code snippet to ensure that the Cisco NX-OS scheduler runs every day at 3:00 a.m. is “time daily 3:00”. This command configures the scheduler to execute the specified job daily at the given time, without the need for a ‘start’ keyword, which is not required in the syntax for daily repetitive tasks.

References: This explanation is based on the Cisco NX-OS documentation, which provides guidelines on how to schedule tasks using the NX-OS scheduler feature. The documentation is part of the Cisco Data Center Core Technologies study materials.

The location where the engineer can look for the latest core dump file after a Cisco MDS 9000 series storage switch has reloaded unexpectedly is /mnt/core. A core dump file is a file that contains the memory state of the kernel at the time of a system failure. The core dump file can help the engineer or the Cisco technical support to analyze the cause of the problem and to fix it. The core dump file is stored in the /mnt/core directory on the switch, and it can be accessed using the CLI command ‘show cores’ or ‘utils core active list’. The other directories (/mnt/pss, /mnt/logs, and /mnt/recovery) do not contain the core dump file, but they may contain other useful information for troubleshooting, such as process state information, log files, and recovery files.

The FCoE uplink port type is designed to carry Fibre Channel over Ethernet traffic, which is typically used for storage server communication. Configuring port E1/31-32 as FCoE uplinks will ensure that only storage server traffic for VLAN 200 is forwarded, aligning with the requirement to dedicate these ports solely for storage traffic

To configure the Cisco IMC server management NIC for autonegotiation, you should select the shared LOM setting. This setting allows the Cisco IMC to share the LAN on motherboard (LOM) ports with the host operating system and negotiate the speed and duplex settings automatically. The shared LOM setting also provides redundancy and failover capabilities for the Cisco IMC management access. The other settings (Cisco card, dedicated, and shared LOM EXT) do not enable autonegotiation for the Cisco IMC server management NIC.
