EMC Proven Professional – Technology Architect — Question 3

Which Fibre Channel switch mechanism logically segments node ports within a fabric into groups and enables communication with each other within the group?

Answer options

• A. Zoning
• B. LUN masking
• C. Fabric binding
• D. Port binding

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Zoning, as it is specifically designed to create logical groups of node ports within a Fibre Channel fabric, facilitating communication among them. The other options, such as LUN masking, Fabric binding, and Port binding, serve different purposes, such as controlling access to storage resources or managing port associations, but do not segment node ports for communication within groups.
