  • Page 24: Fcoe Hardware

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL FCoE overview The motivation behind using CEE networks as a transport mechanism for FC arises from the desire to simplify host protocol stacks and consolidate network interfaces in data center environments. FC standards allow for building highly reliable, high-performance fabrics for shared storage, and these characteristics are what CEE brings to data centers.

  • Page 25: Layer 2 Ethernet Overview

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL Layer 2 Ethernet overview Layer 2 Ethernet overview The Brocade FCoE hardware contain CEE ports that support FCoE forwarding. The CEE ports are also backwards compatible and support classic Layer 2 Ethernet networks (see Figure 1). In Layer 2 Ethernet operation, a host with a Converged Network Adapter (CNA) can be directly attached to a CEE port on the Brocade FCoE hardware.

  • Page 26: Vlan Tagging

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL Layer 2 Ethernet overview The Brocade FCoE hardware handles Ethernet frames as follows: • When the destination MAC address is not in the lookup table, the frame is flooded on all ports except the ingress port. • When the destination MAC address is present in the lookup table, the frame is switched only to the correct egress port.

  • Page 27: Loop-Free Network Environment

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL Layer 2 Ethernet overview Loop-free network environment The Brocade FCoE hardware uses the following protocols to maintain a loop-free network environment: • 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)—STP is required to create a loop-free topology in the LAN. •...

  • Page 28: Congestion Control And Queuing

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL Layer 2 Ethernet overview Congestion control and queuing The Brocade FCoE hardware supports several congestion control and queuing strategies. As an output queue approaches congestion, Random Early Detection (RED) is used to selectively and proactively drop frames to maintain maximum link utilization. Incoming frames are classified into priority queues based on the Layer 2 CoS setting of the incoming frame, or the possible rewriting of the Layer 2 CoS field based on the settings of the CEE port or VLAN.

  • Page 29: Access Control

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL Layer 2 Ethernet overview Multicast output queuing—A typical multicast output queuing example is where several ports carry multicast inbound traffic. Each port has a different priority setting. Traffic from all ports is switched to the same outbound port. If the inbound ports have varying traffic rates, some outbound priority groups will be congested while others remain uncongested.

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL FCoE Initialization Protocol Trunking NOTE The term “trunking” in an Ethernet network refers to the use of multiple network links (ports) in parallel to increase the link speed beyond the limits of any one single link or port, and to increase the redundancy for higher availability.

  • Page 31: Fip Login

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL FCoE Initialization Protocol • The Brocade FCoE hardware uses the FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP). Enodes discover FCFs and initialize the FCoE connection through the FIP. • VF_port configuration—An FCoE port accepts Enode requests when it is configured as a VF_port and enabled.

  • Page 32: Fip Logout

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL FCoE Initialization Protocol FIP logout FIP logout operates as follows: • ENodes can log out from the Brocade FCoE hardware using FIP. The Brocade FCoE hardware in the fabric updates the MAC address, WWN, and PID mappings upon logout. The Brocade FCoE hardware also handles scenarios of implicit logout where the ENode has left the fabric without explicitly logging out.

  • Page 33: Logincfg

    DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL FCoE Initialization Protocol Logincfg The Brocade FCoE hardware logincfg mechanism operates as follows: • The logincfg is the mechanism for controlling ENode logins per Brocade FCoE hardware. Each unit of Brocade FCoE hardware maintains its own logincfg. •...

As LLDP devices transmit and receive advertisements, the devices store information they discover about their neighbors. Advertisement data such as a neighbor's management address, device type, and port identification is useful in determining what neighboring devices are in the network.
