Abstract:
A first fiber channel over Ethernet (FCoE) data forwarder (FDF), comprising a memory coupled to a processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions that cause the processor to receive a base forwarding table from an FCoE controller and manager (FCM), wherein the FDF comprise a plurality of ports, and wherein the first FDF uses the base forwarding table to determine which of the ports to send a first FCoE data frame comprising fiber channel (FC) data, receive a second FCoE data frame comprising a media access control (MAC) address, a port identifier, and FC data, and update the base forwarding table using the MAC address and the port identifier.
