Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 13

Which Converged Network Adapter (CNA) component encapsulates Fibre Channel (FC) frames into Ethernet frames?

Answer options

• A. PCIe Bus
• B. Fibre Channel HBA
• C. Fibre Channel Forwarder
• D. FCoE ASIC

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Fibre Channel HBA, as it specifically handles the encapsulation of Fibre Channel frames into Ethernet frames for transport. The other options do not perform this function; the PCIe Bus is a connection interface, the Fibre Channel Forwarder manages FC traffic but does not encapsulate it, and the FCoE ASIC is a component that assists but does not directly encapsulate the frames.
