HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 103

What is an access port on an Ethernet switch?

Answer options

• A. A port that carries FCP frames inside the network
• B. A port that carries multiple VLANs
• C. A port that is connected to an FCF
• D. A port that carries untagged frames inside the network

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because an access port is designed to carry untagged frames, typically associated with a single VLAN. In contrast, option A refers to FCP frames which are not specific to access ports, option B describes trunk ports that handle multiple VLANs, and option C pertains to connections with Fibre Channel Forwarders (FCFs), which is unrelated to the function of access ports.
