CCNA Data Center Flashcards
Describe how protocol Fiber Channel handles flow control
The receiver RX will send a credit signal to transmitter to tell it amount which is allow to send
Why have LAN and SAN have been segregated:
- Security -
- Bandwidth - SAN was also higher
- Flow Control
What is FCoE
Combining FC protocol with Ethernet Protocol to work over 10GIG links
Reasons to use the layered/modular approach
- Scalability
2. Resilient
Describe features of the Core Layer
- Large amount of bandwidth 40gig 100gig…
