Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 16

In a three-tier SAN topology, which network layer should you connect the SAN initiators to?

Answer options

• A. storage edge
• B. core
• C. host edge
• D. distribution

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as connecting SAN initiators to the storage edge layer allows for optimal communication and access to the storage devices. The core layer is primarily for routing and managing traffic, while the host edge and distribution layers serve different purposes in the overall architecture, making them less suitable for direct SAN initiator connections.
