EMC Information Storage Fundamentals — Question 15

A company has an FC SAN environment. The company's network administrator wants to ensure that a particular switch port cannot function as an EPort and cannot be used to create an interswitch link. Which security mechanism should be used?

Answer options

• A. Persistent port disable
• B. Virtual SAN
• C. Port type locking
• D. Port binding

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Persistent port disable, as it directly prevents the port from being used as an EPort. The other options do not specifically restrict the port's functionality in the same manner; Virtual SAN is for segmenting traffic, Port type locking manages port types but doesn't disable them, and Port binding is related to binding devices to specific ports rather than restricting EPort functionality.
