  1. Hi Osakana , correct answer is the E port , as Alex wrote. On page 391 in ISMv4, this graph is presented and port is named E.

  2. FCIP Tunnel Configuration – Merged Fabric
    An FCIP tunnel may be configured to merge interconnected fabrics into a single large fabric. In the merged fabric, FCIP transports existing fabric services across the IP network.
    The image illustrates a merged fabric deployment. In this deployment:
     The E_Port on an FCIP gateway connects to the E_Port of an FC switch in the adjoined fabric
     The FCIP gateway is also configured with a VE_port that behaves like an E_Port, except that the VE_Port is used to transport data through an FCIP tunnel
     The FCIP tunnel has VE_Ports on both ends
     The VE_Ports establish virtual ISLs through the FCIP tunnel, which enable fabrics on either side of the tunnel to merge

    FCIP Tunnel Configuration – Separate Fabric
    Only a small subset of nodes in either fabric requires connectivity across an FCIP tunnel. Thus, an FCIP tunnel may also use vendor-specific features to route network traffic between specific nodes without merging the fabrics.
    The image illustrates a solution for FC-FC routing but the FCIP tunnel is configured in a way that does not merge the fabrics. In this deployment:
     Ex_Port and VE_Port are configured on each FCIP gateway
     The EX_Port on the FCIP gateway connects to an E_Port on an FC switch in the adjoined fabric
     The EX_Port functions similarly to an E_Port, but does not propagate fabric services from one fabric to another
     The EX_Port enables FC-FC routing through the FCIP tunnel, but the fabrics remain separate

    1. I agree, FCIP tunnel configuration merged and separate fabic has the same graphic, without additional information hard to say what author of the question had in mind

      1. This answer is “EX_port”.
        I took exam, question about “VE_Port”. EX_port was written on exam.
