This intermediate Cisco CCNP Data Center Certification Prep: FCoE vs FC training prepares learners to incorporate Fiber Channel (FC) or Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) into a Cisco storage network after choosing between them.
Fiber Channel was the storage networking data transfer protocol of choice until Fiber Channel over Ethernet came along. But even though many FC networks are transitioning as quickly as they can to FCoE, it's not the right solution in all cases.
This course explains the difference between these two technologies thoroughly so that you can be knowledgeable when the topic comes up. This CCNP Data Center cert prep course is also a great way to learn how to configure both FC and FCoE for Cisco devices.
Once you're done with this Cisco training, you'll know how to incorporate Fiber Channel (FC) or Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) into a Cisco storage network after choosing between them.
For anyone with network administrators on their team, this Cisco training can be used to onboard new network administrators, curated into individual or team training plans, or as a Cisco reference resource.
