P6000 FCoE Connectivity
End-to-end FCoE
• What does it do? Server with CNA for FCoE
(or iSCSI) and TCP/IP
– FCoE allows transportation of Fibre Channel over
Ethernet networks
– FC and IP consolidation allows reducing
– The number of network interface cards Ethernet IP
Network
– The number of cables and switches
– Power and cooling costs
• How does it work? FCoE Switches
• B-Series 2408
– FC0 and FC1 layer is replaced by Ethernet • C-Series Nexus 5000
– IP NIC and FC HBA are consolidated on a single
Converged Network Adapter (CNA) DCB/FCoE connections
• Current status
– Since Ethernet has no but FC requires flow control Ctrl 1 Ctrl 2 Ctrl 1 Ctrl 2
new mechanisms are defined by IEEE and will be
introduced as Data Center Bridging (DCB).
