Which two are benefits of Cisco Unified Fabric? (Choose two )
The correct answer is B. reduced cabling D. consolidation of LAN and SAN over a common transport. Cisco Unified Fabric significantly reduces cabling complexity and achieves cost savings by converging LAN and SAN traffic onto a single, common Ethernet-based transport.

Why each option
Cisco Unified Fabric significantly reduces cabling complexity and achieves cost savings by converging LAN and SAN traffic onto a single, common Ethernet-based transport.
While SNMPv3 offers strong authentication and is supported by Cisco devices, it is a general networking security feature and not a unique benefit defining Cisco Unified Fabric's convergence.
Cisco Unified Fabric reduces the number of physical cables needed in the data center by converging traditionally separate LAN and SAN networks onto a single Ethernet infrastructure.
Zone port distribution (zoning) is a Fibre Channel concept for access control, which FCoE integrates, but it is not a direct benefit of the unification aspect of the fabric itself.
A primary benefit of Cisco Unified Fabric is the consolidation of both LAN (Ethernet) and SAN (Fibre Channel) traffic over a single, common transport layer, typically using technologies like FCoE.
Native AES-256 encryption of data in flight is a security feature, often implemented at higher layers or with specific hardware, and is not a core, differentiating benefit of the unified fabric architecture.
