Integration with L2 Failover
Virtual link aggregation groups (vLAGs)
802.1Qbg Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) is an emerging IEEE standard for allowing networks to
become virtual machine (VM)-aware:
Virtual Ethernet Bridging (VEB) and Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) are
mechanisms for switching between VMs on the same hypervisor.
Edge Control Protocol (ECP) is a transport protocol that operates between two peers
over an IEEE 802 LAN that provides reliable, in-order delivery of upper layer protocol
data units.
Virtual Station Interface (VSI) Discovery and Configuration Protocol (VDP) allows
centralized configuration of network policies that persist with the VM, independent of
its location.
EVB Type-Length-Value (TLV) is used to discover and configure VEPA, ECP, and
VDP.
VMready support:
Up to 4,096 virtual entities (VEs)
Automatic VE discovery
Up to 4,093 local or distributed VM groups for VEs
NMotion® feature for automatic network configuration migration
Converged Enhanced Ethernet:
Priority-Based Flow Control (PFC) (IEEE 802.1Qbb) extends 802.3x standard flow control to
allow the switch to pause traffic that is based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's
VLAN tag.
Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) (IEEE 802.1Qaz) provides a method for allocating
link bandwidth that is based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.
Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX) (IEEE 802.1AB) allows
neighboring network devices to exchange information about their capabilities.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE):
FC-BB5 FCoE specification compliant
FCoE transit switch operations
FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) support for automatic ACL configuration
FCoE Link Aggregation Group (LAG) support
Supports 2,048 FCoE sessions with FIP Snooping by using Class ID ACLs
