Embodiment Construction

[0042] The specific implementation of an Ethernet network device and its method for forwarding FCoE data provided by the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] The present invention provides a method for forwarding FCoE data by an Ethernet network device, such as Figure 6 shown, including the following steps:

[0044] Step 601, when determining that the received data frame is a Fiber Channel over Ethernet FCoE data frame, obtain a destination FCID address from the FCoE data frame, where the destination FCID address is the FCID address of the destination device corresponding to the FCoE data frame;

[0045] Step 602: Determine the network device port corresponding to the destination FCID address according to the established FCID address forwarding table, where the FCID address forwarding table is a correspondence table between the network device port and the FCID addresses of ...

Abstract

The invention discloses Ethernet network equipment and a method for forwarding FCoE (Fibre Channel Over Ethernet) data. The method comprises the following steps of: obtaining a destination FCID (Fiber Channel ID) address from an FCoE data frame when confirming a received data frame is the FCoE data frame; confirming a network equipment port corresponding to the destination FCID address according to an established FCID address forwarding table; and forwarding the FCoE data frame to destination equipment through the corresponding network equipment port. According to the method, the FCoE data frame is forwarded according to a corresponding relation of an FCID address of the destination equipment and the network equipment port instead of according to an MAC (Media Access Control) address forwarding table, so that the FCoE data frame can be accurately forwarded to the destination equipment even though forwarding processing is carried out on the same Ethernet network equipment and a port aggregation technology is adopted on the network equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of FCoE technology, in particular to an Ethernet network device and a method for forwarding FCoE data. Background technique [0002] The Ethernet network device implements data forwarding according to the physical address in the data frame (that is, the MAC (Media Access Control, Media Access Control) address) and the MAC address forwarding table (the correspondence table between the MAC address and the switch port). Port aggregation technology refers to binding multiple ports of a network device together as an aggregation port. After binding, the bandwidth of the aggregation port is equivalent to the sum of the bandwidth of all component ports. The bound ports send data through load balancing. This technology improves the forwarding capability and line reliability of network equipment, so it is often used in Ethernet network equipment. [0003] Such as figure 1 As shown, the server H1 is connected to the network de...
