Dell EMC Networking OS10EE FCoE Deployment with FSB
Summary: Dell EMC Networking offers several switch models that may be used as a leaf pair in a leaf-spine network environment. Each of these switches can be used as a FIP Snooping Bridge (FSB) to provide transit for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic from server nodes to a dedicated FC storage network. Examples of common leaf switches are the S4100 series, S4200 series, and S5200 series switches. This guide covers configuration of the FCoE and FC portion of the network. The configuration includes two Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4148U-ON switches in F_Port mode, two S5248-ON leaf switches as FSBs, PowerEdge servers, FCoE converged network adapters (CNAs), VMware ESXi hosts, and a Unity 500F storage array. The goal of this guide is to enable a network administrator or deployment services engineer to deploy a pair of OS10EE leaf switches in FSB mode, and a pair of S4148U-ONs in F_Port mode in an FC environment using the hardware and software described. ...
