PURE CERTIFIED FLASHARRAY STORAGE
PROFESSIONAL EXAM 2026 TEST PAPER
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALREADY PASSED
◉ Ethernet. Answer: Used in LANs and WANs, more versatile
◉ Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). Answer: Need FCoE for
network convergence
◉ Edge or Departmental switches. Answer: Single protocol and
provide connection between core and host
◉ Core or Director switches. Answer: High bandwidth, multi
protocol, and expensive
◉ Copper Cable. Answer: Used for very short distances, higher
bandwidth, higher attenuation, more durable than fiber
◉ Examples of Copper Cable. Answer: CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, DAC (has
SFPs)
◉ Fiber Optic Cable. Answer: Single mode fiber is better for longer
distances and has less attenuation than multimodal fiber
, ◉ InfiniBand HCA. Answer: Supports InfiniBand protocols
◉ FCoE CNA. Answer: Supports both Fibre Channel and Ethernet
◉ iSCSI HBA. Answer: Supports iSCSI over IP
◉ FC HBA. Answer: Supports native Fibre Channel
◉ SFP. Answer: Small form-factor pluggable network interface
module that allows for copper or fiber optic cabling
◉ Initiator Type. Answer: Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (FC HBA)
◉ Looped networks. Answer: Only one set of initiators can talk at a
time while others wait to request network access
◉ Switched network. Answer: Initiators can dynamically create
connections with each other, everyone can talk with everyone
◉ Partial mesh. Answer: Switches are all connected together but
may need some jumps to get from one switch to another
