01-02 FCOE CONFIGURATION
When an FCoE switch is deployed between an ENode and an FCF, the FCoE switch forwards FCoE frames using the Ethernet protocol because it does not support the FC protocol.

FCoE Principles
Access switches function as FCoE switches and cannot provide some FCF functions, such as FIP snooping bridge (FSB). In remote connection mode, one or more FCoE switches are deployed

FC and FCoE Configuration
The device supports three Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) modes: FCoE forwarder (FCF), NPort Virtualization (NPV), and FIP snooping bridge (FSB). You can configure an FCoE mode as needed.

Basic Concepts of FCoE
An FCoE forwarder (FCF) is a switch supporting both FCoE and FC, and is used to connect the SAN and LAN. An FCF can forward FCoE packets and encapsulate or decapsulate FCoE frames.
