What native Fibre Channel technology facilitates connecting multiple Fibre devices behind a single FC address?
A. Fiber Channel over Ethernet
B. N-Port Virtualization
C. Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop
D. N-Port Identification Virtualization
What native Fibre Channel technology facilitates connecting multiple Fibre devices behind a single FC address?
I take that back. Answer is C. Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop, because NPIV isn’t “native”.
It is NPIV and not FC-AL.
NPIV allows single N-Port to have multiple WWPNs and multiple N-Port_IDs associated with it. NPIV also uses the 24-bit addressing which is the same address size/scheme as a N-Port ID assigned by FLOGI for example.
FC-AL does not function in the above manner.
agree with Anton S I found the same source so its NPIV – D.
B is the answer.
I believe it’s D:
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.
Duplicate question 2.
But I might be wrong.
the correct answer is C: A fibre channel arbitrated loop can connect up to 127 devices with one port attached to the fabric or structure
