NS0-157 · Question #312
Which three protocols can coexist on a NetApp storage system? (Choose three)
The correct answer is B. CIFS D. FCP E. NFS. NetApp storage systems support simultaneous use of CIFS, FCP, and NFS, enabling multiprotocol access for both file and block workloads on the same system.

Why each option
NetApp storage systems support simultaneous use of CIFS, FCP, and NFS, enabling multiprotocol access for both file and block workloads on the same system.
DAFS (Direct Access File System) was a short-lived network file protocol proposal that never achieved broad adoption and is not a standard supported protocol on NetApp systems.
CIFS (Common Internet File System) is a supported file-access protocol on NetApp that can coexist with other protocols, serving Windows clients.
DFS (Distributed File System) is a Microsoft namespace and replication feature built on top of SMB/CIFS - it is not an independent storage protocol that resides on the NetApp system itself.
FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol) is a supported block-access SAN protocol on NetApp that operates independently of file protocols, allowing SAN and NAS to coexist.
NFS (Network File System) is a supported file-access protocol on NetApp for UNIX/Linux clients and can run simultaneously alongside CIFS and FCP on the same storage system.
