EMC Proven Professional – Technology Architect — Question 15

Which mechanism in a Fibre Channel SAN prohibits a disabled switch port from being used, even after a switch reboot?

Answer options

• A. Persistent port locking
• B. Fabric binding
• C. Port binding
• D. Port-type locking

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Persistent port locking, as it maintains the disabled state of a port across switch reboots. The other options, such as Fabric binding, Port binding, and Port-type locking, do not specifically address the requirement to keep a disabled port from being used after a reboot.
