CCIE Data Center (legacy) — Question 81

Which statement about enhanced zoning is true?

Answer options

• A. Changes to the zoning database and subsequent distribution require reactivation of the zone set.
• B. It does not support fWWN-based membership in the standard interop mode (interop mode 1).
• C. It cannot move back to basic zoning from enhanced zoning without a clean wipe and restore of the switches in the fabric.
• D. It provides a vendor ID along with a vendor-specific type value to uniquely identify a member type.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because enhanced zoning indeed provides a unique vendor ID and type value for member identification. Options A and B are incorrect as they misrepresent the requirements and capabilities of enhanced zoning, while C is also inaccurate since enhanced zoning does not necessitate a complete wipe to revert to basic zoning.
