Storage User Guide
date_range
20-Jun-24
Use this guide to configure data center bridging (DCB) functions to support storage area network (SAN) traffic on EX Series and QFX Series switches that use the Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS) configuration style. SAN support features on different switches might include DCB capabilities exchange (DCBX), Fibre Channel (FC), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) gateway and transit functions, FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) snooping, and Priority Flow Control (PFC) for managing lossless traffic classes.
Note:
For configuring DCB functions on EX Series switches that do not support the Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS) configuration style, see Converged Networks (LAN and SAN) User Guide for EX Series Switches.
