A customer has also reached the maximum number of domain IDs in a B-series, Fiber Channel SAN
fabric. The company has also recently acquired another company and needs to integrate their Cseries
Fiber Channel SAN to be able to share the SAN infrastructure.
Which feature should you enable on the C-series Fiber Channel edge switches to meet these
requirements?
A.
NPV mode
B.
FSPF routing
C.
hard zoning
D.
soft zoning
A. NPV mode

0
D soft zoning
In Interoperability mode, PWWN is a requirement, thus answer is Soft Zoning

Key fact: A customer has REACHED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DOMAIN IDs in a B-series FC SAN fabric (and needs to integrate their C-series Fiber Channel SAN). Definitely it’s necessary to configure NPV mode on C switches.
Also, I agree that using fwwn’s on edge switches is not recommended, but there are possible user cases with using fwwn on edge switches (e.g. all hosts on the same edge switches should be in the same separate zones).
So, My opinion is that answer is definitelly A

Hewlett Packard Enterprise supports interoperable, heterogeneous switch fabrics using NPIV (N_Port ID virtualization) connectivity. This method is supported for connectivity between B-Series and C-Series, or between B-Series or C-Series switches and HPE FlexFabric switches.
