Implementing FCoE in the Linux Operating System
Executive summary
This document provides instructions on setting up Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) using a Dell
Force10 switch, a Cisco Nexus switch, Broadcom-based network adapters, and servers running
supported Linux operating systems. It is intended for intermediate Network and System Administrators
with 2-5 years of experience, and assumes a moderate level of network switch administration expertise
and Linux system administration expertise.
Introduction
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) encapsulates Fibre Channel frames over IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
networks equipped with FCoE compliant hardware, thereby reducing the amount of physical IO
connectivity necessary to access Fibre Channel-based storage. However, FCoE can be challenging to
implement due to the complexities involved in correctly configuring the various devices on the
network, such as the SAN, switches, network interface adapters, and operating systems on the servers.
This Dell How-To document is intended to assist you in setting-up FCoE in your environment.
Due to the numerous variances in possible SAN, switch, network interface adapter, and server choices,
it is not possible to write exact instructions for every conceivable supported configuration. As such,
this document is written toward implementing one specific real-world configuration, as detailed in the
Described Configuration section below.
Described configuration
This example used the following Hardware:
SAN: EMC Clariion CX700.
Switches: Dell Force10 MXL 10/40GbE Switch (edge); Cisco Nexus 5020 Switch (distribution);
Appropriate core switch for your network of any applicable make and model (core)
Chassis: Dell M1000e Blade Server Chassis
Server: Dell PowerEdge M520 Server
Network Adapter: Broadcom 57810S Dual-Port 10GbE KR Blade Converged Mezzanine Card
Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2; SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 2
