Refer to the exhibit.
All Ethernet ports are trunked with VLANs 2 thru 10. The Cisco UCS domain is in end-host mode. Host A transmits a single broadcast frame on VLAN 4.
Which statements are true? (Choose two.)
A. Nexus 5548 A and Nexus 5548 B send a copy of the broadcast frame down all six ports to Fabric Interconnect A and Fabric Interconnect B.
B. The deja vu mechanism on the fabric interconnects prevents the fabric interconnects from receiving multiple copies of the broadcast frame.
C. All four vNICs receive a single copy of the broadcast frame.
D. All four vNICs receive multiple copies of the broadcast frame on VLAN 4 but no broadcasts on any other VLAN.
E. The spanning tree process prevents the vNICs from receiving multiple copies of the broadcast frame.
F. The Reverse Path Forwarding mechanism prevents the vNICs from receiving multiple copies of the broadcast frame.
Correct Answer: AC

Explanation:
When the Cisco UCS fabric interconnect is in end-host mode, it assumes that all uplinks are connected to the same, common Layer 2 domain. The fabric interconnects will each randomly choose a designated single uplink to receive all broadcast frames entering the system. As a result, a portion of the broadcast messages will be lost because broadcasts received on all other uplinks will be ignored and dropped.
If the fabric interconnect in end-host mode is connected to multiple isolated networks. it will not be able to process all broadcast messages from each isolated network because it does not receive broadcasts coming in on other links. It will process broadcasts from the network containing the chosen uplink only (shown in blue in Figure 16).
From the example in Figure 16, fabric interconnect 6100-A chose an uplink connected to DMZ 1 as the broadcast link, but 6100-A is not receiving any broadcast messages from DMZ 2, and therefore DMZ 2 server vNICs connected to 6100-A will not be able to see any important broadcast messages from DMZ 2, such as ARP requests.
