FCoE port supports up to four logical traffic paths Brocade s implementation of FCoE on the Brocade 8000 switch provides integral NPIV support so that multiple FCoE initiators can log in to a single FCoE interface When a CNA logs into the fabric it is assigned a new MAC address using a function called Fabric Provided MAC Address FPMA This address is used for all FCoE communication The first three bytes of the MAC address are provided by the FC MAP and the last three bytes are determined by the FCID The VF_Port or FC entity that the CNA logs in to determines the FCID Integrating a Brocade 8000 switch on a SAN Perform the following process to install a new Brocade 8000 switch 1 On the Brocade 8000 switch verify that the Zone database is empty and change the domain ID to a unique number If there are any non default fabric configuration changes in the existing fabric ensure that these are also configured on the new switch For details see the Administering Advanced Zoning and Performing Basic Configuration Tasks Domain IDs sections of the Fabric OS Administrator s Guide 2 Power off the Brocade 8000 switch and connect the Inter Switch Link ISL cables to the core FC switch or director NOTE Connecting a new Brocade 8000 switch to the fabric while it is powered off ensures that reconfiguration will not occur 3 Power on the Brocade 8000 switch and verify that the ISLs are online and the fabric is merged 4 Check to
