Cards Term What are the three fibre channel topologies? Definition 1. Point to point 2. Arbitrated loop 3. Switched Fabric Term What topology is the simplest Fibre Channel topology, consisting of two directly connected node ports (N_Ports). Definition Point to point Term What topology is a uni-directional ring, similar to token ring, supporting up to 126 interconnected devices (+ the loop master)? Definition Aribitrated Loop Term What topology is an interconnection topology based on one or more interconnected Fibre Channel switches? Definition Switched Fabric Term What topology provides a low-cost connectivity between a modest number of loop ports using a shared-media and shared-bandwidth scheme? Definition Arbitrated Loop Term What topology provides low-cost connectivity between two N_Ports? Definition Point to point Term What topology provides higher-cost connectivity between a larger number of ports using a switched interconnect scheme that provides high aggregate bandwidth, isolation between ports, and better concurrent maintenance capabilities. Definition Switched Fabric Term What Fibre Channel level defines the physical interface? Definition FC-0 Term What Fibre Channel level defines the transmission protocol? Definition FC-1 Term What Fibre Channel level defines the signaling protocol? Definition FC-2 Term What Fibre Channel level defines the common services? Definition FC-3 Term How many bits is a Fibre Channel address? Definition 24-bits Term What classes of service are supported by McData switches? Definition Class 2, 3, and F. Term Which class of service does not require an acknowledgement? Definition Class 3 Term After a link is operational on a switch, what are the four variations of the login that take place? Definition FLOGI - Fabric Login PLOGI - Port Login PRLO - Process Login LIP - Loop Initialization Procedure Term How many bits is a WWN or a WWPN? Definition 64-bit Term What is the domain ID range for McData switches? Definition 1-31 decimal 61-7F Hex Term Port number on McData swithes are offset by what number? Definition 4 Term Name the four switch services? Definition 1. Login Service 2. Fabric Controller 3. Management Server 4. Name Server
