NetApp Certified Design Engineer – SAN — Question 16

A customer is required to encrypt iSCSI traffic across their public network.
In this scenario, which method will accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. dot1q
• B. IPsec
• C. NVMe
• D. CHAP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

IPsec is the correct choice as it provides encryption for IP packets, which is essential for securing iSCSI traffic over public networks. The other options, such as dot1q, are related to VLAN tagging and do not provide encryption, while NVMe is a storage protocol and CHAP is an authentication method, neither of which ensure traffic encryption.
