E – EX – VE – VE – EX -E
correct answer is B
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.
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
And in this exibit, is separate fabric or merged fabric? EX_Port or E_Port?
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
Hi Osakana
Did you do the ISMv4?
Correct answer: A
following document “Figure 2-2 FCIP Links and Virtual ISLs” said “E_Port”.
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/6_x/configuration/guides/ipserv/DCNM-SAN_published/IPserv/cfcip.html
But Brocade switch(integrated routing license) have a specific switch port EX_Port.
I think this exam based on brocade switch, then correct answer is “B(EX_port)”
This answer is “EX_port”.
I took exam, question about “VE_Port”. EX_port was written on exam.
Hi, Alex
Answer is B = EX port.
E – EX – VE – VE – EX -E
have a great day!
