Question 37

You are configuring a 4-node AFF A400 ONTAP 9.8 cluster. The data center switches have limited ports, and you are given one 10-Gigabit Ethernet port per node for external access.

In this scenario, which three protocols share the same physical port? (Choose three.)

    Correct Answer: B, C, D

    Given the constraint of having only one 10-Gigabit Ethernet port per node for external access, the three protocols that can share the same physical port are FCoE, iSCSI, and SnapMirror. FCoE and iSCSI are protocols designed to run over Ethernet networks, and SnapMirror is a data replication technology that can also use IP networks. NVMe/FC and FC require a SAN fabric and cannot operate over standard Ethernet ports.

Iscsi, Snapmirror and FCoE

If we have only ethernet switches available, we can only enable protocols over ethernet such as FCoE, ISCSI and Snapmirror. NVMe/FC and FC need a SAN Fabric switch to work.
