Test Set Up
Figure 1 shows the setup used to test FCoE (Fibre-Channel over Ethernet) deployment on the Dell EMC
S4148U acting as an NPIV Proxy Gateway or NPG connected to an FSB (FIP Snooping Bridge). The
following list defines the setup:
 Traffic is uni-directional
 Storage (Fibre-Channel over Ethernet) traffic is generated by the server
 The S4148U-ON (NPG) is running OS10 (10.4.0E(X2))
 The S4048-ON (FSB) is running OS10 (10.4.0E(X2))
 The target storage device is an emulated target – SAN Blaze
 Connection speed is at 16Gbps
Dell EMC S4148U-ON as NPG and S4048-ON as FSB Test Setup
In this setup, FCoE traffic is generated by the enode server connected to the FSB swich (s4048-ON). The
FSB switch creates a set of internal access lists not visble nor configurable by the user to ensure point-to-
point connectivity between the enode and fibre-channel target. The S4148U-ON acting as an NPG, strips all
Ethernet encapsulation from the FCoE packet and forwards native fibre-channel frames to the target.
