Which statement describes the FIP function of the FCoE Initiation Protocol?
A. It is required to establish the point-to-point FCoE links with the first switch in the path.
B. It is required to establish the point-to-point FCoE links with any switch across multiple Ethernet segments.
C. It is not used to build the FCoE links.
D. It is used to ensure lossless transport.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series FCoE implementation could establish point-to-point FCoE links to first-generation converged network adapters (CNAs) without FIP, but FIP is required to build more complex topologies in which FCoE links can map to an Ethernet path that consists of more than one Ethernet link segment. The final revision of FC-BB-5 completed the definition of FIP and was soon followed by Cisco ® NX-OS Software Release 4.1(3) N1(1), the first software release for the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series that offers FIP capabilities.
