Exam SK0-005 Topic 2 Question 83 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's SK0-005 exam
Question #: 83
Topic #: 2
A technician is configuring a server that will need to accommodate a planned network upgrade. All hosts will be changed from 10Gb copper to 25Gb fiber. Which of the following would best suit the requirements?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

The upgrade involves transitioning from 10Gb copper to 25Gb fiber, which requires appropriate network interface hardware:
* FCoE (A) - Fibre Channel over Ethernet: This protocol allows Fibre Channel to run over Ethernet networks, but it does not address the physical change from copper to fiber.
* VLAN ID (B): VLANs segment networks but do not impact the physical connectivity (copper vs. fiber).
* SFP (C) - Small Form-factor Pluggable: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable modules used in network interfaces to support fiber connections. A 25Gb SFP28 transceiver would be required for the transition from 10Gb copper to 25Gb fiber. This is the correct answer.
* HBA (D) - Host Bus Adapter: HBAs are typically used for storage connectivity (such as Fibre Channel SANs), not general network upgrades.
Since SFP modules allow servers to support fiber connections, this is the best choice for upgrading from
10Gb copper to 25Gb fiber.
