Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes instantiating a virtual Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Forwarder (FCF) at a primary FCF, the virtual FCF associated with a virtual domain identifier and a virtual FCF-MAC (Media Access Control) address, wherein the primary FCF and a secondary FCF form a virtual Port Channel (vPC) for communication with a host, and allocating node port identifiers to virtual node ports on vPC ports at the host from the virtual domain identifier. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
