Cabling

To connect the Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables:

1. Connect the Fibre Channel cables from the servers to the Brocade 8000 FCoE switch.

2. Connect the Fibre Channel cables from the storage to the Brocade 8000. FCoE switch.

3. Connect any necessary Ethernet cables for device management and iSCSI storage.

Configure Fibre Channel Switches and Zoning

If you are connecting Fibre Channel devices, such as storage, through a Fibre Channel switch, then you must

connect the Fibre Channel switch to a Fibre Channel port on the FCoE switch. In addition, set up a zoning

configuration so that the servers can discover the disk LUNs you are mapping. For zoning instructions, see the

Fibre Channel switch documentation.

In this procedure, you may need to adjust some of the parameters, such as VLAN IDs, Ethernet interfaces, and

virtual Fibre Channel interfaces to suit your environment. In this example, the Brocade FCF uses NIC traffic on

priority 2 and VLAN 2, and FCoE traffic on priority 3 and VLAN 1002.
