A2: | Answer: Node: A Fibre Channel device. Node ID: Unique identifier. Port: A connection point between each node that provides access to other devices. Link: A pair of optical fibers. One of the fibers carries information into the receiver port; the other fiber carries information out of the transmitter port. Topology: An interconnection scheme that connects two or more Fibre Channel N_ports. |
3: | Fibre Channel is an industry-standard interconnect and high-performance serial I/O protocol that can deliver a new level of reliability, throughput, and distance flexibility for the server industry. |
A3: | Answer: True |
4: | Which one of the following are the three Fibre Channel topologies? Parallel to serial, SCSI IDs, and switched fabric Point to point, arbitrated loop, and switched fabric Point to point, arbitrated loop, and RAID 0 Point to point, fabric arbitrated loop, and storage fabric
|
A4: | Answer: B |
5: | What is a gigabit interface converter (GBIC)? |
A5: | Answer: The GBIC translates the electrical impulse into the optical signal used with the fiber-optic medium. It contains a device that emits an optical signal used for transmission along the fiber-optic cable. |
6: | Which Fibre Channel topology uses Fibre Channel hubs? |
A6: | Answer: FC-AL |
7: | What is the function of an E_port on a Fibre Channel switch? |
A7: | Answer: This interswitch expansion port is used to connect to an E_port of another switch to build a larger fabric |
8: | What are the two types of Fibre Channel cabling? |
A8: | Answer: Copper fiber and optical fiber |
9: | Which one of the following best describes attenuation? The bending of a cable past a specific radius The loss of power over a distance The ratio of velocity in a vacuum
|
A9: | Answer: B |
10: | What is the name for a network of switches in a Fibre Channel environment? |
A10: | Answer: Fabric |
11: | What is the only standards-based technology designed from the beginning for simultaneous data, voice, and video transmission? ATM Fibre Channel IP over Fibre Channel Multimode Fiber Point-to-Point topology
|
A11: | Answer: A |
