What native Fibre Channel technology facilitates connecting multiple Fibre Channel devices behind a single FC address?
A. N-Port Virtualization
B. N-Port Identification Virtualization
C. Fibre Channel Arbitrary Loop
D. Fiber Channel over Ethernet
NPV is not native FC.
“C” is correct
The answer is B = N-Port Identification Virtualization
I agree C is incorrect. I would go with A.
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
NPIV allows a Fibre Channel host connection or N-Port to be assigned multiple N-Port IDs or Fibre Channel IDs (FCID) over a single link. All FCIDs assigned can now be managed on a Fibre Channel fabric as unique entities on the same physical host.
A Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) is a high-speed Fibre Channel (FC) topology in which FC ports use arbitration to establish a point-to-point circuit and prevent multiple ports from sending frames at the same time.
isn’t the answer should be B. N-Port Identification Virtualization???
