The point-to-point topology is the simplest and most common way to connect a single host to a storage system using FC. It allows direct communication between two devices without any intermediate devices. The UTA2 ports on the AFF A220 cluster support the point-to-point topology when configured as FC ports. Therefore, to connect a single Windows host directly to the storage using FC, you need to use the point-to-point topology on all ports and make sure that the host and the storage have compatible FC settings, such as speed, WWPN, and zoning. The other options are not correct because they involve additional devices or topologies that are not necessary or supported for this scenario. References :- Quick guide - AFF A220, Detailed guide - AFF A220, ONTAP 9 SAN Configuration Guide

 The route is a network configuration that defines how the traffic from a LIF is routed to a destination. The route consists of a destination, a gateway, and a metric. The destination is the IP address or subnet that the LIF wants to reach. The gateway is the IP address of the next-hop router that forwards the traffic to the destination. The metric is a numerical value that indicates the preference of the route. In this scenario, the route for the SVM vs0 has a destination of 0.0.0.0/0, which means any IP address or subnet. The gateway is 10.61.208.1, which is the IP address of the router that connects the LIF to the rest of the network. The metric is 20, which is a relatively low value that indicates a high preference. However, the gateway is incorrect, as it does not match the subnet of the LIF. The LIF has an IP address of 192.0.2.130 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0, which means its subnet is 192.0.2.0/24. The gateway should be an IP address within the same subnet, such as 192.0.2.1. This would allow the LIF to communicate with the router and reach other destinations. The incorrect gateway causes connectivity issues, as the LIF cannot find a valid route to send or receive traffic. To resolve this issue, the route needs to be modified to reflect the correct gateway using the network route create or network route modify commands or the System Manager GUI12. References :- Create a route, Modify a route

 According to the NetApp best practices, flow control should be disabled on data network ports and cluster network ports using 10GbE Ethernet. This is because flow control can cause excessive pause frames, xon/xoff frames, or packets being re-queued, which can affect the network performance and TCP throughput. Flow control works at the physical link layer and does not consider the upper level protocols. Therefore, it is recommended to disable flow control end-to-end on both data and cluster network ports for optimal performance. References :- How to modify flow control on cluster port in ONTAP, What are the flow control best practices for Ethernet?, Configure your network for best performance
