<p>The present invention discloses a control method of virtual link discovery and a system for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol. The present invention allocates some Ethernet Nodes (ENodes) and FCoE Forwarders (FCFs) to different virtual networks during networking, and provides a Virtual Node (VN) port of each ENode and a Virtual Fibre Channel (VFC) port of each FCF with a Virtual Network Identification (VN ID) of a virtual network to which they belong. In this way, a VN port of an ENode may establish a virtual link with a VFC port that belongs to the same virtual network in preference, so that some ENodes are made to access FCFs that belong to the same virtual networks as the ENodes. This avoids accessing the same FCF at the same time by all the ENodes, and hence reduces a possibility of message congestion in the FCF and reduces a possibility of resource waste due to long time idling of one or more FCFs as well.</p> |
