Patent number: 11552906Abstract: A network where FC and Ethernet storage traffic share the underlying network. The network extends FC SAN storage specific attributes to Ethernet storage devices. The network is preferably formed of FC switches, so each edge switch acts as an FCoE FCF, with internal communications done using FC. IP packets are encapsulated in FC packets for transport. Preferably, either each outward facing switch port can be configured as an Ethernet or FC port, so devices can be connected as desired. FCoE devices connected to the network are in particular virtual LANs (VLANs). The name server database is extended to include VLAN information for the device and the zoning database has automatic FCOE_VLAN zones added to provide a mechanism for enhanced soft and hard zoning. Zoning is performed with the conventional zoning restrictions enhanced by including the factor that any FCoE devices must be in the same VLAN.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL SALES PTE. LIMITEDInventors: Jesse Willeke, Kiran Sangappa Shirol, Chandra Mohan Konchada

Patent number: 10778561Abstract: A diagnostic testing utility is used to perform single link diagnostics tests including an electrical loopback test, an optical loopback test, and a link traffic test. To perform the diagnostic tests, two ports at each end of a link are identified and configured as D_Ports and as such will be isolated from the fabric with no data traffic flowing through them. Advertisement frames may be sent at predetermined time intervals to transition the two ports to different states within the diagnostic test. After transitioning to the different states, the ports will then be used to send test frames to perform the diagnostic tests.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL SALES PTE. LIMITEDInventors: Raghavendra Shenoy Ranjal, Kiran Sangappa Shirol

The network extends FC SAN storage specific attributes to Ethernet storage devices. The network is preferably formed of FC switches, so each edge switch acts as an FCoE FCF, with internal communications done using FC. IP packets are encapsulated in FC packets for transport. Preferably, either each outward facing switch port can be configured as an Ethernet or EC port, so devices can be connected as desired. FCoE devices connected to the network are in particular virtual LANs (VLANs). The name server database is extended to include VLAN information for the device and the zoning database has automatic FCOE_VLAN zones added to provide a mechanism for enhanced soft and hard zoning. Zoning is performed with the conventional zoning restrictions enhanced by including the factor that any FCoE devices must be in the same ULAN.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2019Publication date: October 10, 2019Applicant: Avago Technologies International Sales Pte.
