Question

Which description of a FLOGI database I ?

Options

AIt displays the status of the various VSANs in the fabric.
Bit indicates the devices that connect directly to the switch.
CIt shows the switch of the zones on the Local switch.
DIt travels VSAN s in the network.

Explanation

The FLOGI database records all devices that have performed a Fabric Login directly to the local switch, identifying directly attached N ports and NL ports.

Common mistakes.

A. VSAN status and operational state information is displayed by the 'show vsan' command, not by the FLOGI database, which is limited to device login records.
C. Zone configuration and port membership on a local switch is viewed with the 'show zone' command, which is separate from the FLOGI database.
D. The FLOGI database is local to each individual switch and does not traverse VSANs; fabric-wide device information is tracked in the Fibre Channel Name Server (FCNS) database instead.
