Information About FCoE
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) provides a method of transporting Fibre Channel traffic over a physical
Ethernet connection. FCoE requires the underlying Ethernet to be full duplex and to provide lossless behavior
for Fibre Channel traffic.
Lossless behavior on Ethernet is provided by using a priority flow control (PFC) mechanism that prevents
Note
packet loss during congestion conditions.
Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches support T11-compliant FCoE on all 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Information About FCoE and FIP
FCoE Initiation Protocol
The FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) allows the switch to discover and initialize FCoE-capable entities that
are connected to an Ethernet LAN. Two versions of FIP are supported by the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch:
