   What benefit does FCoE provide by consolidating storage and data traffic on a single network?

   • AIncreases the maximum distance of Fibre Channel to any length
   • BEliminates the need for storage protocols entirely
   • CGuarantees higher performance than any other storage protocol
   • DReduces the number of cables and switches needed in the data center

   A data center is consolidating its storage and data networks using FCoE. The team has deployed FCoE-capable switches and converged network adapters (CNAs) in the servers. However, they are experiencing intermittent storage performance degradation during periods of high LAN traffic. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

   • AThe CNAs are not configured with the correct World Wide Names (WWNs)
   • BThe FCoE traffic is being routed through a Layer 3 gateway
   • CThe storage array is not configured for FCoE and is only accepting native FC connections
   • DThe Ethernet switches are not configured with lossless priority-based flow control (PFC) for the FCoE traffic class

   A company is choosing between a NAS and a SAN for a new application. The application requires high-performance block-level storage, but the IT team also wants to provide file sharing for a separate group of users. The budget allows for only one new storage system. Which solution should they choose?

   • AA NAS appliance that also supports iSCSI targets
   • BA SAN with a separate NAS gateway or file server in front of it
   • CA NAS only, and run the application on NFS
   • DA SAN only, and tell the file-sharing users to use direct-attached storage

   What is the main purpose of FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet)?

   • ATo allow Fibre Channel traffic to be transmitted over Ethernet networks
   • BTo replace Ethernet with Fibre Channel for all networking
   • CTo provide a wireless connection for storage devices
   • DTo convert Fibre Channel storage into file-level NAS

   A company is planning a disaster recovery strategy. They want to replicate storage between two data centers. The primary data center uses a Fibre Channel SAN. The secondary data center is 50 km away. The company wants to use the existing dark fiber between the sites. Which storage networking technology should they use for replication?

   • ANative Fibre Channel with long-wave optics
   • BiSCSI with synchronous replication
   • CFibre Channel over IP (FCIP)
   • DFCoE over the dark fiber
