HPE FlexNetwork Core Technologies — Question 24

Which protocol should you recommend for a dedicated lossless fabric?

Answer options

• A. Internet SCSI (iSCSI)
• B. Fibre Channel (FCP)
• C. Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
• D. Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Fibre Channel (FCP) is specifically designed for environments that require lossless data transmission, making it the most suitable choice for a dedicated lossless fabric. In contrast, iSCSI and FCIP are generally used in IP-based networks, while FCoE combines Fibre Channel with Ethernet but may not guarantee lossless delivery in the same manner as Fibre Channel does.
