FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP)
1
• Maximum logins per VF_port—The Brocade 8000 CEE switch supports a maximum of 255
logins per VF_port. The VF_port rejects further logins after the maximum is reached.
• Maximum logins per switch—The Brocade 8000 CEE switch accepts a maximum of 1024 logins
per switch. Note that the Brocade 8000 CEE switch does not reject further logins after the
maximum is reached.
FIP logout
The Brocade 8000 CEE switch FIP logout is as follows:
• ENodes can log out from the Brocade 8000 CEE switch using FIP. The Brocade 8000 CEE
switch in the fabric updates the MAC address, WWN, and PID mappings upon logout. The
Brocade 8000 CEE switch also handles scenarios of implicit logout where the ENode has left
the fabric without explicitly logging out.
• FIP logout (LOGO)—The Brocade 8000 CEE switch accepts a FIP LOGO from the ENode. The FIP
LOGO ACC should be sent to the ENode if the ENode MAC address matches the VN_port table
on the Brocade 8000 CEE switch. The LOGO is ignored (not rejected) if the ENode MAC address
does not match. The ENode logout is updated in the VN_port table. FPMA is supported.
• Implicit logout—With the ENode directly connected to a Brocade 8000 CEE port, if the port that
the ENode is attached to goes offline, the Brocade 8000 CEE switch implicitly logouts that
ENode. ENode logout are updated in the VN_port table. The Brocade 8000 CEE switch sends
FIP LOGO on behalf of the ENode.
FCoE login
The Brocade 8000 CEE switch FCoE login is as follows:
• ENodes can login to the Brocade 8000 CEE switch using FCoE encapsulated, FC Extended Link
Service (ELS) frames. FLOGI and FDISC are accepted. Brocade 8000 CEE switches in the fabric
maintain the MAC address to WWN/PID mappings per login. Class 2 FLOGI is not supported.
• FCoE FLOGI—The Brocade 8000 CEE switch accepts FCoE FLOGI from the ENode. FCoE FLOGI
ACC is sent to the ENode if the FCMAP matches the VN_port table on the Brocade 8000 CEE
switch. Requests are ignored if the FCMAP does not match. The ENode login is added to the
VN_port table.
• FCoE FDISC—The Brocade 8000 CEE switch accepts FCoE FDISC from the ENode. FCoE FDISC
ACC is sent to the ENode if the FCMAP matches the VN_port table on the Brocade 8000 CEE
switch. The FCoE FDISC request is ignored if the FCMAP does not match. The ENode login is
added to the VN_port table.
• FCMAP—The Brocade 8000 CEE switch accepts FCoE FLOGI from the ENode. The FCMAP
determines which FCoE VLAN is accepted for the FCoE session.
NOTE
Only one FCoE VLAN is supported in the Fabric OS v6.1.2_cee release.
