Question

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Answer

The FCoE Initialization Protocol uses the burned-in MAC address of the converged network adapter for all FCoE operations.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.
