You are designing a core-edge solution. Your customer has an existing HP C-series MDS
9500 Director Switchand wants to one HP B-series 8/24c SAN Switches.
What must you consider for proper interoperability? (Select two.)

A.
The B-series switches should be in Access Gateway mode

B.
The B-series switches should be in standard switch mode

C.
The C-series core switches should support NPIV

D.
The C-series core switches should be in interopmode 1

E.
The C-series core switches should be in interopmode 2

Explanation:
When creating a dual interoperable, heterogeneous SAN, consider the following:
– HP recommends that you use the same fabric topology and configuration in both fabrics to
maintain balancedSAN performance.
– Design both fabrics using the lowest common denominator. For example, B-series switches
support sevenswitch hops and M-series switches support three switch hops.
Therefore, design both fabrics with a maximumof three switch hops.
– HA configurations require support for common host bus adapter (HBA), driver,
multipathing software, andstorage array firmware versions because servers and storage
connect to both fabrics.

B-series Access Gateway
Access Gateway (AG) mode provides connectivity to B-series or other switch-series fabrics
that supportN_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV).
The following B-series Fibre Channel switches support running in Access Gateway Mode:
• Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class
• HP SAN Switch 8/24, 8/40 (with 40 ports enabled and 6.2.0a or later)
• HP 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch (Fibre Channel ports with 6.3.1a or later)
• HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch
• HP 4/16 SAN Switch (Brocade 200e)
• Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem (Brocade 4024)
