When a switch that supports enhanced zoning joins a fabric, which SW ILS command does it use to determine the enhanced zoning capabilities of the other switches in the fabric?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
If the device at the other end of the link is another switch, it will start a different initialization procedure. The switches will exchange data about their parameters and capabilities (allowed classes of service, timeout values, supported protocols, etc.) by means of an SW ILS called “Exchange Link Parameters” (ELP) and an optional one called “Exchange Switch Capabilities” (ESC). If the parameters are mutually accepted, switches proceed with further operations.
