An 8Gb SAN switch port will autosense which of the following port speeds? (Select TWO).

While 1Gb is a valid Fibre Channel speed, 2Gb and 4Gb are the most common direct predecessors that an 8Gb port is designed to autosense for optimal compatibility with typical legacy equipment.

Fibre Channel (FC) ports are engineered for backward compatibility, enabling an 8Gb FC port to automatically negotiate and operate at the 2Gb speed when connected to an older device. This ensures interoperability across different generations of FC hardware.

Similarly, an 8Gb Fibre Channel port will also autosense and connect at the 4Gb speed. This backward compatibility is a fundamental feature of Fibre Channel technology, allowing seamless integration with existing SAN infrastructure.

10Gb is not a standard backward-compatible Fibre Channel speed for an 8Gb port; it's typically associated with Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) or other distinct Ethernet-based standards.

An 8Gb Fibre Channel port cannot operate at a higher speed of 16Gb because it exceeds its maximum hardware capability.
