<p>A method to trace a fibre channel forwarder (FCF) in a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) network is described. The method includes identifying a primary FCoE port of a Reverse N_Port ID Virtualization (R-NPIV) bridge to be non-functional, where the primary FCoE port connects the R-NPIV bridge to an FCF in the FCoE network. The method also includes selecting at least one of the FCF and a secondary FCF, from amongst one or more FCFs identified to be available on the primary FCoE port, for communication of data. The method further includes configuring a secondary FCoE port for connection with the at least one of, the FCF and the secondary FCF, where the connection allows communication of data between the FC nodes and the FCoE network.</p> |
