Ethernet local area network (LAN) (IP cloud) for data — as well as FC links to one or more storage area
network (SAN) fabrics.
FCoE works with the Ethernet enhancements provided in Data Center Bridging (DCB) to support lossless
(no-drop) SAN and LAN traffic. In addition, DCB provides flexible bandwidth sharing for different traffic
types, such as LAN and SAN, according to 802.1p priority classes of service. DCBx should be enabled on
the system before the FIP snooping feature is enabled.
All of the commands that are supported for FCoE on the MXL and I/O Aggregator apply to the FC Flex IO
modules. Similarly, all of the configuration procedures and the settings that are applicable for FCoE on
the MXL and I/O Aggregator are valid for the FC Flex IO modules.
