Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v5 — Question 75

When should FCIP be used to interconnect FC SANs?

Answer options

• A. to interconnect local and remote FC SANs at distances within 200 km
• B. to converge FC and IP traffic onto a single network transport within a distance of 200 km
• C. to interconnect local and remote FC SANs at distances greater than 200 km
• D. to converge FC and IP traffic onto a single network transport at distances greater than 200 km

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because FCIP is specifically designed for connecting Fibre Channel SANs over long distances, typically exceeding 200 km. Options A and B are incorrect as they refer to distances within 200 km, which does not utilize the long-distance capabilities of FCIP. Option D also fails to correctly apply FCIP's primary function, as it focuses on merging traffic rather than interconnecting SANs.
