HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 46

Which protocol can be used to access a shared directory on a network-attached storage device?

Answer options

• A. SNMP
• B. SMB
• C. FCP
• D. BGP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is SMB, which stands for Server Message Block, and it is specifically designed for providing shared access to files and printers over a network. SNMP is used for network management, FCP is a protocol for storage area networks, and BGP is a routing protocol used for the internet, making them unsuitable for accessing shared directories.
