All the below options are true except
-
World Wide Names (WWNs) are similar to MAC addresses for NICs in TCP/IP
-
FC port id is similar to IP address for a NIC in TCP/IP
-
Private FC-AL uses 8 bit addressing scheme which restrics the number of devices to 128
-
FC-SW topology is analagous to token ring topology
This question asks which statement is FALSE (all true except). FC-SW (switched fabric) is analogous to Ethernet switching, not token ring. Options A, B, and C are all true: WWNs are like MAC addresses (unique device IDs), FC port IDs are like IP addresses (assigned addresses for communication), and private FC-AL uses 8-bit addressing (limiting to 126 devices after addressing overhead). The question structure correctly identifies D as the false statement.
