- B . An iSCSI initiator is connected to an FC target over an FCIP network
- C . Both the iSCSI initiator and iSCSI target create virtual FC links with an iSNS server

An organization is planning to secure the connection between the data center and cloud while performing data backup and replication.
Which security control mechanism will help organization to achieve the desired security?
- A . ldentity and Access management
- B . Intrusion Detection and Prevention
- C . Firewall
- D . Virtual Private Network
A customer uses FCIP to connect local and remote FC SANs. The remote SAN is continuously replicated to, and used to store daily backup data. Latency over the IP WAN increases to unacceptable levels during peak replication periods. No other data transfer services using the WAN experience the same latency problem.
What is the likely cause of the data replication performance issue?
- A . IP packet segmentation
- B . FCIP gateway FC ports set to EX_Port mode
- C . Ethernet frame segmentation
- D . FCIP gateway FC ports set to TE_Port mode
A
Explanation:
When an Ethernet frame is larger than the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of a link, it must be fragmented into smaller pieces, which are sent separately and reassembled at the receiver. This is known as IP packet segmentation. Fragmentation and reassembly of the IP packets can add significant latency and can cause performance issues for FCIP. In this scenario, the issue is specific to data replication, indicating that the issue is with the FCIP configuration or the replication application. The other options, B, C, and D, are unrelated to the issue.
In an archiving environment, how is a content address created in a content addressable storage (CAS) system to store an object?

- D . By using the physical address of the storage device.
