Each FC fabric consists of a combination of at least one FCoE VLAN interface between the FCoE-FC gateway and the FCoE devices, and one or more native FC interfaces between the FCoE-FC gateway and the FC switch. This chapter includes the following sections: •Information About Fibre Channel Interfaces, page 1-1 •Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces, page 1-8 •Configuring Global Attributes for. The gateway FC fabric includes FCoE and native FC interfaces, and a VLAN to carry FCoE traffic from FCoE-capable devices. FC SANs can meet the reliable storage, access, and backup requirements for large-capacity data. Figure 1 shows three FC SAN networking methods. Using FC-FC routing, you can share tape drives across multiple fabrics without the administrative problems, such as change management, network. Expansion Port – E Port – it connects to another E port in order to form an interswitch link (ISL) between two switches. Note that the device it connects to has an N port. Fabric Loop Port – FL Port – these port types.
