A. B. C. D.A.
The correct answer is B. show fc2 plogi.
Explanation:
FCID (Fibre Channel ID) is a unique identifier assigned to a Fibre Channel node, which includes switches and storage devices. VSAN (Virtual Storage Area Network) is a logical partitioning of a physical storage network into multiple virtual SANs, each with its own set of policies, security, and management.
The command 'show fc2 plogi' displays the list of FCIDs along with the VSAN that is associated with each FCID. This command provides information about the FC2 (Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI) layer login process, which occurs when a Fibre Channel node logs into a switch. The VSAN information is displayed under the VSAN column, which helps to identify which VSAN each FCID belongs to.
Option A. 'show fcdomain' displays the status and configuration of the Fibre Channel Domain Manager, which is responsible for managing the Fabric login process and domain-wide configuration. It does not display the VSAN associated with each FCID.
Option C. 'show vsan database' displays the list of VSANs configured on the switch along with their status and membership information, but it does not display the FCID associated with each VSAN.
Option D. 'show flogi database' displays the list of Fibre Channel logins that have been performed on the switch, including the FCID, but it does not display the VSAN associated with each FCID.
