Abstract: Provided are an implementation method and device for a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) to access a Visual Fabric (VF) network, and a Fiber Channel over Ethernet Forwarder (FCF). The method includes that: a VF network and corresponding relationships between the VF network and plurality of VLANs needing to access are configured according to a preset rule; and the plurality of VLANs are associated to the same VF network according to the configured corresponding relationships, wherein terminals in different VLANs are allowed to perform data intercommunication.

Abstract: Disclosed are a RSCN method and system, a related device and a computer storage medium. The RSCN method applied to an Ethernet Node (ENode) device includes that: an RSCN message is received; and when it is determined that destination Media Access Control (MAC) contained in the RSCN message is ENode MAC, the RSCN message is distributed to a corresponding Virtual Node Port (VN_Port). The RSCN method applied to a Fiber Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE) Forwarder (FCF) includes that: network detection is performed; and when it is detected that a state to which attention is paid in a network changes, a first RSCN message is sent to an ENode device which pays attention to such a state change and succeeds in centralized notification capability negotiation with the FCF, destination MAC contained in the first RSCN message being ENode MAC. Disclosed are an ENode device, an FCF and an RSCN system.

Abstract: Provided are methods and devices for acquiring a Media Access Control (MAC) address. According to a method for acquiring an MAC address, an MAC address request message is received, wherein the MAC address request message carries a Fibre Channel Identifier (FCID); whether the FCID is matched with an FCID of a receiver receiving the MAC address request message or not is judged; and when it is judged that the FCID is matched with the FCID of the receiver receiving the MAC address request message, the receiver sends a response message, wherein the response message carries an MAC address of the receiver. The technical solution solves the problem in a related technology that communication cannot be directly performed through the link layer, and has the effect of directly acquiring an MAC address corresponding to an FCID of an opposite end so as to perform communication by fast switching at the link layer.
