NOTE: The pinned port configuration is supported on FSB, Ethernet downlink port-channel of NPG, and F_Port mode.
Limitations:
The system uses an ACL table for ENode MAC with a redirect port option similar to FCF. This limits the number of FC or FCoE
sessions.
When the pinned port goes down, you must manually re-configure another active port in the port-channel as pinned port. You can
perform this re-configuration only in the intermediate switches, but not in the server.
If there is a mismatch in the configuration or if the pinned port goes down, the system does not use other ports in port-channel even if
there is a valid path to server and storage device.
When you add or remove a pinned port when FCoE sessions are active, the system clears and re-initiates the FCoE sessions based on
the configuration. The system displays warning messages during the configuration.
The following illustrations show VLT and non-VLT networks with FCoE traffic flowing through pinned port.
