200-150 Question #23: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: FCoE. A converged Ethernet IP network uses standard Ethernet infrastructure for both data and storage traffic. FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) encapsulates traditional Fibre Channel frames inside Ethernet frames, allowing FC storage protocols to run over a 10GbE (or higher) network

Question

What two technologies can be used to connect to storage arrays on a converged Ethernet IP network? (Choose two.)

Options

AFCoE
BFiber Channel
CiSCSI
DInfinBand
EFabricPath

Explanation

A converged Ethernet IP network uses standard Ethernet infrastructure for both data and storage traffic. FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) encapsulates traditional Fibre Channel frames inside Ethernet frames, allowing FC storage protocols to run over a 10GbE (or higher) network without dedicated FC hardware. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) maps SCSI commands over TCP/IP, enabling block-level storage access natively over any IP/Ethernet network. The other options are incorrect because traditional Fibre Channel (B) requires its own dedicated non-Ethernet infrastructure, InfiniBand (D) is a separate high-speed fabric technology unrelated to Ethernet, and FabricPath (E) is a Cisco Layer 2 routing/loop-prevention technology, not a storage access protocol.
