A customer wants to connect iSCSI-enabled hosts to an existing Fibre Channel (FC) storage
array. Which networking device enables the connectivity between the host and the storage array?
A.
iSCSI gateway
B.
FCIP bridge
C.
FC gateway
D.
IP router
Explanation:
iSCSI Topologies: Bridged iSCSI
Bridged topology enables the coexistence of FC with IP by providing iSCSI-to-FC bridging
functionality. Figure in the slide illustrates an iSCSI host connectivity to an FC storage array. In
this case, the array does not have any iSCSI ports. Therefore, an external device, called a
gateway or a multiprotocol router, must be used to facilitate the communication between the iSCSI
host and FC storage. The gateway converts IP packets to FC frames and vice versa. The bridge
devices contain both FC and Ethernet ports to facilitate the communication between the FC and IP
environments. In bridged iSCSI implementation, the iSCSI initiator is configured with the gateway’s
IP address as its target destination. On the other side, the gateway is configured as an FC initiator
to the storage array.
