Description
This feature can be used to identify individual switch and
directly attached peer ports in a data center environment.
This feature is supported for F ports.
New FCoE commands were introduced and some FCoE
commands were modified to align with the commands used
in Fibre Channel.
The link connecting a core switch to a Cisco NPV switch
should be treated as an Inter-Switch Link (ISL) (core port) in
the port monitor. Previously, core ports were included as
access ports and were subject to any portguard actions
configured. This allows portguard actions on true access
(edge) ports, while ports connecting to Cisco NPV switches
remain unaffected.
The link connecting a core switch to a Cisco NPV switch
should be treated as an ISL (core port) for the purposes of
congestion-drop, no-credit-drop, and slowport-monitor
thresholds for Fibre Channel. Previously, core ports were
subject to any change in the congestion-drop or no-credit-drop
mode F value.
