B. Faster throughput
C. Reduce domain IDs in a Fibre Channel environment
D. Support for increased number of VSANs
E. Support for SAN port channels
Correct Answer: AC
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
N Port virtualization (NPV) reduces the number of Fibre Channel domain IDs in SANs. Switches operating in the NPV mode do not join a fabric; rather, they pass traffic between NPV core switch links and end devices, which eliminates the domain IDs for these edge switches.
