identify control points, such as zoning and Logical Unit Number (LUN) masking, where resource access control for data access integrity can be implemented in a SAN environment
state the purpose of FC services provided by FC switches such as login server, name server, zoning, and registered state change notifications
identify the functions of the FC host bus adapter as it relates to hosting I/O access and to the SAN fabric
