Which two statements about both FCIP and iSCSI are correct? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AThey support file-level storage for remote devices.
• BThey require high throughput with low latency and low jitter.
• CTheir purpose is to provide connectivity between host and storage.
• DThey support block-level storage for remote devices.

Explanation

Both FCIP and iSCSI operate at the block storage level (D): FCIP encapsulates native Fibre Channel frames (which are block-level) over IP, and iSCSI encapsulates SCSI block-level commands over TCP/IP - neither provides file-level storage. Both technologies also enable connectivity between geographically separated SANs over IP WANs (E): FCIP is specifically designed to tunnel Fibre Channel SANs over IP networks, and iSCSI can similarly extend SAN connectivity across WAN links. Choice A is incorrect - file-level storage is provided by NAS (NFS/CIFS), not FCIP or iSCSI. Choice B is a characteristic of Fibre Channel but not an accurate description shared by both protocols in the context of the other options. Choice C is more accurate for iSCSI alone (host-to-storage connectivity), not for FCIP which is primarily SAN-to-SAN.
