HP0-J73 · Question #255

What is an interconnected network of independent fabric for B-Series switches?

The correct answer is B. Logical storage area network (LSAN). LSAN (Logical SAN) is the Brocade B-Series construct for interconnecting independent FC fabrics via FC Routing, allowing devices in separate fabrics to communicate without merging those fabrics.

Why each option

LSAN (Logical SAN) is the Brocade B-Series construct for interconnecting independent FC fabrics via FC Routing, allowing devices in separate fabrics to communicate without merging those fabrics.

AConverged storage area network (CSAN)

CSAN (Converged SAN) is not a recognized Brocade B-Series term and does not describe any standard inter-fabric or fabric partitioning technology in that product line.

BLogical storage area network (LSAN)Correct

In Brocade B-Series switch architecture, an LSAN is a logical grouping of devices spread across multiple independently administered Fibre Channel fabrics that are connected using FC Routing (FCR). FCR allows inter-fabric communication without physically or administratively merging the fabrics, preserving each fabric's independence while enabling selective device-level connectivity across fabric boundaries.

CVirtual storage area network (VSAN)

VSAN (Virtual SAN) is a Cisco MDS/Nexus concept for creating logical partitions within a single physical fabric; Brocade B-Series uses a different architecture and does not use the VSAN terminology.

DTransparent storage area network (TSAN)

TSAN (Transparent SAN) is not a standard term in Brocade or any mainstream B-Series SAN technology and does not describe an inter-fabric networking model.
