A standard Ethernet uplink carries assigned VLANs on all physical uplinks. When implementing FCoE, traffic for SAN path A and SAN path B must be kept separate. The storage arrays have two separate controllers which create two paths, SAN path A and SAN path B, connected to the MX9116n FSE. For storage traffic to be redundant, two separate VLANs are created for that traffic.
Using the same process described in Define VLANs, create two additional VLANs for FCoE traffic.
Name | Description | Network type | VLAN ID | SAN |
FC A1 | FCOE A1 | Storage - FCoE | 30 | A |
FC A2 | FCOE A2 | Storage - FCoE | 40 | B |
