Which combination best describes the supported switch operating systems on ONTAP cluster switches?

Which combination best describes the supported switch operating systems on ONTAP cluster switches?

• A. Cisco NX-OS and Broadcom EFOS
• B. Cisco NX-OS only
• C. Broadcom EFOS only
• D. Juniper Junos

Answer: (A)

ONTAP validates interoperability with specific switch operating systems to ensure the cluster interconnect works reliably. For ONTAP cluster switches, the supported options are those certified by NetApp: Cisco NX-OS on Cisco switches and Broadcom EFOS on Broadcom-based switches. This combination covers the two major hardware platforms NetApp certifies, giving reliable inter-switch communication and feature support that ONTAP relies on. Juniper Junos isn’t part of the certified set for ONTAP cluster interconnect, so it isn’t considered a supported option in this context.
