Storage Network

Which statement explains the MAC address that the FCoE Initialization Protocol selects for an E-Node to use in an FCoE implementation?

  • A The FCoE Initialization Protocol uses a 24-bit FC-MAP and concatenates a 24-bit Fibre Channel ID to create a fabric-provided MAC address.
  • B The FCoE Initialization Protocol uses the burned-in MAC address of the converged network adapter for all FCoE operations.
  • C FCoE does not use a MAC address. The FCoE Initialization Protocol is used to acquire a Fibre Channel ID, and the address is used for all FCoE communications in the same way as Fibre Channel Protocol.
  • D The FCoE Initialization Protocol uses 01.00.0C as the first 24 bits of the MAC address and appends a 24-bit Fibre Channel ID to derive a full 48-bit FCoE MAC address.
Explanation

An E-Node receives a fabric-provided MAC address formed by concatenating the 24-bit FCoE MAC prefix (FC-MAP) with its 24-bit Fibre Channel ID (FCID). The FC-MAP identifies the fabric and can vary within its defined range.
