The correct answer is D. WWN Zoning. To implement Fibre Channel zoning that grants authorization based on unique device identifiers, WWN Zoning must be used as it identifies devices by their World Wide Name.

Question

The storage technician is setting up a zoning implementation within a Fibre Channel fabric and needs to implement a feature on the switches for granting authorization to data between different zones through a unique device identifier. Which of the following would need to be implemented to satisfy this requirement?

Options

  • APort Zoning
  • BRedundant Fabrics
  • CLUN Masking
  • DWWN Zoning

Why each option

To implement Fibre Channel zoning that grants authorization based on unique device identifiers, WWN Zoning must be used as it identifies devices by their World Wide Name.

APort Zoning

Port Zoning defines zone members based on the physical port numbers on the Fibre Channel switch, which does not use a unique device identifier and can break if devices are re-cabled.

BRedundant Fabrics

Redundant Fabrics provide high availability and fault tolerance for the Fibre Channel network by using multiple, isolated fabrics, which is a design principle rather than a method for granting authorization based on unique device identifiers.

CLUN Masking

LUN Masking is a storage array feature that controls which servers can access specific Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs), operating at the storage layer rather than at the Fibre Channel switch zoning layer for device authorization.

DWWN ZoningCorrect

WWN Zoning (World Wide Name Zoning) is the appropriate implementation because it uses the unique, globally identifiable World Wide Name (WWN) of Fibre Channel devices, such as Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and storage ports, to define zone members, ensuring consistent authorization regardless of the physical port a device connects to.
