VLANs for SmartFabric and FCoE

Create VLANs before creating the SmartFabric. The first VLAN that is created must be the default or native VLAN, typically

VLAN 1. The default VLAN must be created for any untagged traffic to cross the fabric.

If you are implementing Fibre Channel configurations, you can also configure VLANs for FCoE. The storage arrays have two

separate controllers that create two paths—SAN path A and SAN path B. These paths are connected to MX9116n FSE. For

storage traffic to be redundant, two separate VLANs are created for that traffic.

The following table lists examples of VLAN attributes for FCoE traffic:

Table 12. VLAN attributes for FCoE

Name Description Network Type VLAN ID SAN

FC A1 FCOE A1 Storage - FCoE 30 A

FC A2 FCOE A2 Storage - FCoE 40 B
