Abstract
This paper presents recommended topologies for use with converged networking, focusing on the use of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) with Lenovo Networking switches. It includes sample configurations for several Lenovo Networking products which can be customized for use in a production environment. There are samples using the most current Lenovo Networking firmware (CNOS) as well as the older firmware (ENOS).
This paper is intended for use by system and networking engineers working on those technologies, and who have a working understanding of Ethernet networking.
