A VSAN, however, cannot perform access control over the servers and disk devices (or the N_Ports) connected to a fabric. N_Ports in the same VSAN can access one another only if these N_Ports register name services.

Page 14: How Fcoe Works
FCoE frames To transmit an FC frame over Ethernet, FCoE encapsulates the FC frame in an FCoE frame by adding an Ethernet frame header to the FC frame. An FCoE frame uses Ethernet II encapsulation, which has the following fields in the Ethernet header: EtherType 0x8906.
Page 15 A VN interface of an ENode. A VFC interface of another FCF switch. After the virtual link is established, the FCF switch encapsulates the FC frame in an FCoE frame and sends it out. After receiving the FCoE frame, the FCF switch removes its Ethernet header to send the original FC frame to the upper layer for processing.
Page 16: Fcoe Modes
If they match, the switch replies with a solicited Discovery Advertisement, whose fcf priority − field carries the FCF priority of the VFC interface. If they do not match, the switch discards the Discovery Solicitation. − The FCF switch periodically sends unsolicited Discovery Advertisements, whose fcf priority field carries the FCF priority of the system.
Page 17: Fcf Mode

Page 22: Configuring Fc Interfaces
Configuring FC interfaces An FC interface connects to a node (server or disk) or FC switch for transmitting and receiving FC frames. To connect to an FC interface of a peer device, you must use an FC interface. An FC interface can operate in E_Port, F_Port, NP_Port, or auto mode. Changing the port type between a Layer 2 Ethernet interface and an FC interface Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces can be changed to FC interfaces.

Page 58: Domain Id Assignment
Before the PSST expires, the switches exchange packets carrying the principal switch information to select a principal switch. On receiving such a packet, a switch compares the priority and WWN of the principal switch carried in the packet against those locally recorded. The switch replaces the locally-recorded principal switch information with the principal switch information recorded in the packet.

Page 104: Configuring Fc Zones
Configuring FC zones Overview The VSAN technology divides a physical SAN into multiple VSANs, which are separated from one another, and provides more secure, reliable, and flexible services. A VSAN, however, cannot perform access control over the servers and disk devices (or the N_Ports) connected to a fabric. N_Ports in the same VSAN can access one another only if these N_Ports register name services.
Page 105 Figure 31 Zone database structure In the zone database structure: A zone set is a set of zones. A zone is a set of zone members, which are N_Ports or F_Ports. N_Port • membership can be identified by the port WWN (pWWN) or FC address of an N_Port. F_Port membership can be identified by the WWN of an F_Port (fWWN).
Page 106 Figure 32 Active and full zone sets In basic zoning mode, the system checks the size of the data to be distributed when you activate a zone set. If the size of the data exceeds the system limit, the activation fails, and an error message is displayed. In enhanced zoning mode, the system does not limit the size of the data to be distributed.
Page 107: Pairwise
Pairwise The Pairwise feature is supported only in enhanced zoning mode. Typically, servers do not need to access each other, and storage devices do not need to access each other. Without the Pairwise feature, an access entry is generated for any pair of members in a zone. The Pairwise feature allows a member to access only members with a different role in the same zone.
Page 108 Acquire Change Authorization (ACA). • • Stage Fabric Configuration Update (SFC). Update Fabric Configuration (UFC). • Release Change Authorization (RCA). • These types of packets implement locking, data synchronization, submission, and unlocking processes, respectively. These processes ensure that only one switch is the managing switch when multiple users trigger a data distribution on different switches at the same time.
Page 109: Zone Distribution In Enhanced Zoning Mode
If the managing switch does not receive ACC packets from one or more managed switches, it sends an RCA request to notify each managed switch to release the change authorization state. If the managed switch replies with neither an ACC packet nor an RJT packet because of its abnormal state, the managing switch cannot be released from its locked state.
Page 110: Zone Merge In Basic Zoning Mode
For zone distribution in enhanced zoning mode, the SFC request always has hard zoning status. For zone distribution caused by a switchover from basic zoning to enhanced zoning, the SFC request carries hard zoning status. For zone distribution caused by a switchover from enhanced zoning to basic zoning, the SFC request does not have hard zoning status.
Page 111 Figure 34 Zone merge process between two switches The zone merge process is as follows: Switch A and Switch B are new neighbors to each other. Suppose that Switch A first initiates a merge to Switch B. Switch A sends an MRRA request carrying the size of its data to be merged to Switch B. After receiving the MRRA request, Switch B determines whether to accept the merge according to its local data size.
Page 112: Zone Merge In Enhanced Zoning Mode
After the merge process initiated by Switch A is complete, Switch B initiates a merge process to all its neighbors. This synchronizes Switch B's local database changes resulting from the merge to the entire fabric. Two 1-way merge processes can ensure data consistency between Switch A and Switch B. NOTE: Consistent active zone sets among switches can be achieved by a merge.
Page 113: Access Control
In the event of a merge failure, the link between participating switches is isolated, and both zone • databases remain unchanged. Enhanced zoning has stricter rules than basic zoning. • The enhanced zoning mode includes the following merge rules: If either the merge control mode or default zone policy is different from that in the local zone •...

Page 117: Configuring The Default Zone Policy
Configuring the default zone policy In enhanced zoning mode, the switch distributes the default zone policy with other zone data. In basic zoning mode, you must manually configure a consistent default zone policy across the fabric. When the switch performs a zoning mode switchover, it also distributes the default zone policy with other zone data.
Page 118: Enabling Hard Zoning
In enhanced zoning mode, the merge control mode affects the result of a merge operation. Also, a merge operation is allowed only when the merge control mode is the same on both participating switches. Otherwise, the merge operation fails, and the link connecting the participating switches is isolated. This feature is supported only in enhanced zoning mode.
Page 119: Activating A Zone Set And Distributing It To The Entire Fabric
You can use the display zone status command to view the hard zoning status. Do not configure this command when the switch is merging or distributing zones. To enable hard zoning: Step Command Remarks Enter system view. system-view Enter VSAN view. vsan vsan-id By default, hard zoning is Enable hard zoning.

After activating a zone set as the active zone set by using the zoneset activate command, you can modify the zone database configuration. The zoneset distribute command distributes the active zone set and the modified zone database to the entire fabric without changing the active zone set. If the distribution fails, the system prints a log message.

Page 127: Configuring Npv
Configuring NPV Overview NPV enables an FC SAN to accommodate more than 239 switches. NPV switches forward traffic from nodes to the core switch. Figure 36 shows a typical NPV network diagram. Figure 36 NPV network diagram NOTE: An NPV switch must be directly connected to the core switch. Downlink interface and downlink A downlink interface, also known as a server interface, is an interface through which an NPV switch connects to a node.
Page 128: Uplink Interface And Uplink
Uplink interface and uplink An uplink interface, also known as an external interface, is the interface through which an NPV switch connects to the core switch. It can be an FC interface, FC aggregate interface, or VFC interface, both of which must be configured to operate in NP mode.

Page 139: Configuring Fip Snooping
Configuring FIP snooping Overview To communicate with devices in the FC SAN, a node must register with an FC fabric. An FC switch has point-to-point connections with nodes. An FC switch brings up an interface connected to a node only after the node completes fabric login on the interface.
Page 140: How Fip Snooping Works
How FIP snooping works After FIP snooping is enabled for a VLAN, Ethernet interfaces on the Transit switch establish FIP snooping rules according to FIP frames (with EtherType as 0x8914). Then, the Ethernet interfaces control the forwarding of FCoE frames (with EtherType as 0x8906) based on the FIP snooping rules. To facilitate description, the following definitions are specified: FIP snooping rules generated on an Ethernet interface operating in FCF mode are called FCF FIP •...
Page 141: Fip Snooping Configuration Task List
Controlling forwarding of FCoE frames After establishing FIP snooping rules, a Transit switch forwards FCoE frames that match FIP snooping rules and drops those that do not match FIP snooping rules. As a result, only successfully registered ENodes can communicate with FCF switches. FIP snooping configuration task list Tasks at a glance Remarks...
Page 142: Configuring The Fc-Map Value
Configuring the FC-MAP value The FC-MAP value identifies an FCoE network. Switches (including FCF switches and Transit switches) in the same FCoE network must have the same FC-MAP value. You can use the fcoe fcmap command to configure the FC-MAP value in frames sent out of an FCF switch. You can use the fip-snooping fc-map command to configure an FC-MAP value for a VLAN on a Transit switch.

Page 157: Configuring Fc Ping
Configuring FC ping Overview In an FC SAN, use the fcping command to identify whether a destination address is reachable and to test network connectivity. In an FC ping operation, the source device sends echo requests to the destination device. It determines whether the destination is reachable based on whether it receives echo replies.
