FCoE configuration guidelines and restrictions

Follow these FCoE configuration guidelines and restrictions when configuring FCoE:

•Speed negotiation—The Brocade 8000 switch supports auto-negotiated FC link speeds of 2, 4,

and 8 Gbps. The Ethernet ports of the Brocade 8000 switch do not support auto-negotiation of

Ethernet link speeds. The Ethernet ports only support 10-Gigabit Ethernet.

•Features that are not supported on the Brocade 8000 switch or the FCOE10-24 blade:

-Virtual fabrics

-Admin Domains

-Port-based zoning

-QoS zoning

-Adaptive networking

-FC-SP for the FCoE ports

-Interop mode

-Access Gateway mode

-FC routing

-Integrated routing

-Hot Code Load (HCL) firmware download

-Extended fabrics

-FICON

•The CEE configuration database is maintained in a file separate from the Fabric OS

configuration database. Fabric OS configuration management procedures remain unchanged.

•FCoE to FCoE traffic across two FCOE10-24 blades can only reach 68% line rate using a port

based routing policy. Using an exchange based routing policy can avoid the performance drop.

•Only WWN zoning of FCoE VF ports is supported. Port-based zoning of the FCoE VF port is not

supported. Additionally, inclusion of FCoE VF ports in a zone which has port-based zone

members (such as zone members specified by their respective domain and index) is not

supported.
