How does an FCoE end node acquire its FCoE MAC address?

A.
server-provided MAC address

B.
Fibre Channel name server

C.
fabric-provided MAC address

D.
FIP proxy

Explanation:
The VN_Port is assigned a fabric-provided Mac address (FPMA) that is built by concatenating a 24-bit
FCoE MAC address prefix (FC-MAP), ranging from 0x0E-FC-00 to 0x0E-FC-FF, to the 24-bit FCID. Being
able to build a unique MAC address for the VN_Port directly from its FCID saves the switch from
having to maintain a table that associates FCID and MAC addresses.
