FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP)

FCoE logout
The Brocade 8000 CEE switch FCoE logout is as follows:
• ENodes can logout from the Brocade 8000 CEE switch using the FCoE encapsulated, FC ELS
frame. Brocade 8000 CEE switches in the fabric update the MAC address to WWN/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.
• FCoE LOGO—The Brocade 8000 CEE switch accepts the FCoE LOGO from the ENode. The FCoE
LOGO ACC is 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 added to the VN_port table.
Logincfg
The Brocade 8000 CEE switch logincfg mechanism is as follows:
• The logincfg is the mechanism for controlling ENode logins per Brocade 8000 CEE switch.
Each Brocade 8000 CEE switch maintains its own logincfg.
• Logingroup is optional—Without any logingroup, the default behavior is to accept logins from
any ENode.
• Logingroup creation and deletion—The Brocade 8000 CEE switch accepts valid logingroup
names and member WWNs. The Brocade 8000 CEE switch rejects invalid entries. The Brocade
8000 CEE switch allows the deletion of logingroups that are defined and committed. You can
display defined and committed logingroups. The logingroup capability is disabled by default.
• Member add and remove—You can add valid member WWNs. Invalid WWNs are rejected.
Duplicate WWNs are uniquely resolved. Logingroup is automatically deleted when the last
member WWN is removed. You can display the current view of defined logingroups when
changes are made to the configuration.
• Commit and abort—Defined logingroup changes can be aborted with no effect on existing
ENodes. ENodes cannot access defined but uncommitted changes. Once defined, logingroups
are committed. ENodes can immediately use the new configuration.
• No traffic disruption—Changing the logingroup without committing the changes does not affect
existing ENodes. Sessions that were already logged in continue to function even when a
member is removed. New logins are rejected when a member is being removed.
Name server
The Brocade 8000 CEE switch name server operation is as follows:
• ENode login and logout to and from the Brocade 8000 CEE switch updates the name server in
the FC fabric. The Brocade 8000 CEE switch maintains the MAC address to WWN/PID
mappings.
• ENode login and logout—When an ENode login occurs through any means (FIP FLOGI, FIP
FDISC, FCoE FLOGI, or FCoE FDISC), an entry is added to the name server. When an ENode
logout occurs through any means (FIP LOGO, FCoE LOGO, or implicit logout), the entry is
removed from the name server.
• ENode data—The Brocade 8000 CEE switch maintains a VN_port table. The table tracks the
ENode MAC address, FIP login parameters for each login from the same ENode, and WWN/PID
mappings on the FC side. You can display the VN_port table.
