Exam H13-611 topic 1 question 7 discussion

IP SAN is iSCSI SAN that uses TCP/IP and Ethernet. So the answer is False.

The answer is False. IP SAN (Internet Protocol Storage Area Network) is a type of SAN (Storage Area Network) that uses IP (Internet Protocol) to connect servers and storage systems. IP SAN uses Ethernet networks to transport data, and it does not require any underlying optical networks. Optical networks are typically used for Fibre Channel SANs, which is a different type of SAN. Fibre Channel SANs use Fibre Channel to transport data, and they offer higher performance and reliability than IP SANs. However, there are some IP SANs that do use optical networks. These SANs are called Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) SANs. FCIP SANs use IP to encapsulate Fibre Channel traffic, which allows them to be deployed over Ethernet networks. Overall, IP SANs do not use underlying optical networks to connect servers and storage systems. However, there are some IP SANs that do use optical networks, such as FCIP SANs.
