Comprehensive FCoE configuration examples

FCoE configuration example (in standalone mode)

Network requirements

As shown in
Switch A and Switch B are connected to an Ethernet switch, and operate at the access layer of the
•
LAN.
Switch A and Switch B are connected to Switch C and Switch D, respectively.
•
• The four switches operate as the FCF switches of the SANs.
Configure FCoE to meet the following requirements:
• The transmission network formed by Switch A, Switch B, and the Ethernet switch can use the server
to provide services for the LAN. The transmission network formed by switches A through D can
enable the server to access the disk device.
Link backup is used to implement high availability for the packets to and from the server and disk
•
device.
The bandwidth is increased for the link between Switch A and Switch C and the link between Switch
•
B and Switch D, and link backup and load sharing are implemented.
