   A hospital is replacing a 10-year-old network that supports both clinical workstations and a separate Fibre Channel storage fabric. The new design must reduce cabling in the server room while keeping storage traffic isolated from LAN traffic. The IT director wants to minimize disruption during the migration. Which approach best meets these requirements?

   • AReplace all switches at once with new Ethernet switches and connect storage directly to the servers.
   • BUse a single flat Ethernet network for both LAN and storage without any protocol changes.
   • CDeploy a converged network using FCoE and CNAs, then migrate storage traffic in phases while validating each step.
   • DKeep the existing Fibre Channel fabric and add a separate Ethernet network for the new workstations.

   A financial services firm is replacing its network. The project has a tight deadline and a limited budget. The firm must maintain compliance with data residency regulations, which require that all customer data remain within the country. The current network is a mix of old switches that cannot support the new security features. The project team is considering a phased migration. What is the most important consideration when planning the migration?

   • ASelecting a new network vendor that offers the lowest price.
   • BMinimizing the cost of new equipment by reusing existing switches.
   • CCompleting the migration in a single weekend to meet the deadline.
   • DEnsuring that the new network maintains data residency requirements during the migration.

   How does FCoE encapsulate Fibre Channel frames for transmission over Ethernet?

   • ABy placing the Fibre Channel frame directly into the payload of an Ethernet frame
   • BBy splitting Fibre Channel frames into multiple smaller Ethernet frames
   • CBy converting Fibre Channel frames into IP packets before sending them over Ethernet
   • DBy adding a Fibre Channel header to an existing Ethernet frame

   A company is planning to deploy FCoE in its data center. The network team is concerned about the complexity of managing a converged network. Which approach would best address this concern?

   • AHire additional staff to manage the converged network.
   • BUse separate management tools for LAN and SAN.
   • CUse FCoE switches that support unified management for both LAN and SAN.
   • DAvoid FCoE and use iSCSI instead.

   A data center is deploying FCoE to consolidate storage and LAN traffic. The network team has configured FCoE VLANs and enabled PFC. However, storage traffic is experiencing intermittent drops during peak usage. What is the most likely cause?

   • APFC is not configured correctly on all switches in the path.
   • BThe FCoE switches are not using FIP.
   • CThe FCoE VLAN is not tagged on the server's CNA.
   • DJumbo frames are not enabled on the storage array.
