SG0-001 · Question #97

FCoE uses which of the following types of transport?

The correct answer is D. Ethernet. Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a technology that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames within standard Ethernet frames for transport over an Ethernet network.

Why each option

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a technology that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames within standard Ethernet frames for transport over an Ethernet network.

AFibre Channel

Fibre Channel is the storage protocol being encapsulated, not the transport mechanism that FCoE uses.

BFDDI

FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) is an older network technology that is not used as the transport for FCoE.

CiSCSI

iSCSI is a separate storage protocol that encapsulates SCSI commands over IP networks, distinct from FCoE which uses Ethernet to encapsulate Fibre Channel.

DEthernetCorrect

FCoE utilizes the widely adopted Ethernet protocol as its underlying transport layer, allowing Fibre Channel traffic to converge onto a single, unified Ethernet infrastructure, simplifying network design and reducing cabling.
