CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 697

Which of the following storage connection types should be used to allow the consolidation of the physical connections for SAN and LAN in just one Layer 2 protocol?

Answer options

• A. Fibre Channel
• B. SCSI
• C. T1/E1
• D. FCoE

Correct answer: D

Explanation

FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) is specifically designed to transport Fibre Channel frames over Ethernet networks, allowing SAN and LAN traffic to be consolidated on a single Layer 2 protocol. The other options, such as Fibre Channel and SCSI, do not inherently support this consolidation, while T1/E1 is a different type of telecommunication link not used for SAN/LAN integration.
