Fiber channel is available in which speeds? |
4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 gbps |
|
|
What are the 3 fiber channel topologies? |
Point to point. Arbitrated loop, and switched fabric. |
|
|
What is the maximum speed of an arbitrated loop? |
8 gbps |
|
|
Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) is a transport protocol that predominantly transports ______ commands over Fibre Channel networks |
SCSI |
|
|
Fibre Channel is the most popular network for _____ memory being transported over the ____ interface protocol. |
flash, NVMe |
|
|
In this Fibre Channel topology design, all devices are connected to Fibre Channel switches, similar conceptually to modern Ethernet implementations. |
Switched Fabric |
|
|
This is the simplest fibre channel topology, with limited connectivity, two devices are connected directly to each other. |
Point to point |
|
|
In this fibre channel topology design, all devices are in a loop or ring, similar to token ring networking. Adding or removing a device from the loop causes all activity on the loop to be interrupted. The failure of one device causes a break in the ring. |
Arbitrated loop |
|
|
Max ports in a point to point topology? |
2 |
|
|
Max port in an arbitrated loop? |
127 |
|
|
In the 5 layer fibre channel model, layer 0 is? |
Physical. |
|
|
In the 5 layer fibre channel model, layer 1 is? |
Transmission protocol. |
|
|
In the 5 layer fibre channel model, layer 2 is? |
Signaling Protocol. |
|
|
In the 5 layer fibre channel model, layer 3 is? |
Common Services layer. |
|
|
In the 5 layer fibre channel model, layer 4 is? |
Protocol mapping layer. |
|
|
What port is typically an HBA port? |
N_Port. (Node Port) |
|
|
What port is a switch port that is connected to an N_Port? |
F_Port (Fabric port) |
|
|
Switch port that attaches to another switch port to create an Inter-Switch Link |
E_Port (Expansion Port) |
|
|
The Fibre Channel physical layer is based on serial connections that use the ___ or ____ modules. |
SFP, QSFP |
|
These are? |
Fibre Channel Media and Modules |
|
|
All Host Bus Adapters use the ___ interface. |
SFP |
|
|
Modern Fibre Channel devices support ___ transceiver, mainly with __ fiber connector. Older 1GFC devices used ____ transceiver, mainly with __ fiber connector. |
SFP with LC (Lucent Connector), GBIC with SC (Subscriber Connector) |
|
|
The ___ is a dedicated network that enables multiple servers to access the same storage. |
SAN (Storage Area Network) |
|
|
SANs are often designed with ____________ to increase fault tolerance. Two completely separate fabrics are operational and if the primary fabric fails, then the second fabric becomes the primary to enable 5 9's of reliability. |
dual fabrics |
|
|
Fibre Channel switches can be divided into two classes. These classes are not part of the standard, and the classification of every switch is a marketing decision of the manufacturer: |
Directors Switches |
|
|
_________ offer a high port-count in a modular (slot-based) chassis with no single point of failure (high availability). |
Directors |
|
|
________ are typically smaller, fixed-configuration (sometimes semi-modular), less redundant devices. |
Switches |
|
|
If multiple switch vendors are used within the same fabric it is ______ , the switches may only achieve adjacency if all switches are placed into their interoperability modes. This is called the "_________" mode as each vendor's switch may have to disable its proprietary features to comply with the Fibre Channel standard. |
heterogeneous open fabric |
|
|
Each HBA has a unique __________ , which is similar to an Ethernet MAC address in that it uses an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) assigned by the IEEE. |
World Wide Name (WWN) |
|
|
There are two types of WWNs on a HBA; a ____, which can be shared by some or all ports of a device, and a _______, which is necessarily unique to each port. |
node WWN (WWNN) port WWN (WWPN) |
|
|
The maximum total fibre channel frame length is ___________. |
2148 bytes |
|
|
A maximum ____ byte long field (payload) contains the information to be transferred from a source N_Port to a destination N_Port. |
2048 |
