Question

Which Fibre Channel interface port mode is used to connect multiple switches together?

Fibre Channel E ports create Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) to connect multiple FC switches into a larger fabric.

Common mistakes.

A. N ports (Node ports) are used by end devices such as HBAs or storage targets to connect into the fabric, not for switch-to-switch links.
C. F ports (Fabric ports) are switch-side ports that accept connections from N port end devices such as hosts and storage, not from other switches.
D. NL ports (Node Loop ports) are used by end devices participating in an arbitrated loop topology, not for connecting switches together.
