Provided are a switch device and a switch device control method, whereby the burden on an administrator in FCoE communication is reduced. A switch device (1) relays FCoE communication between storage which is positioned in an internal network and an FCF which is positioned in an external network. A receiving port (122) receives, from the FCoE, information of an external VLAN in the external network as a response to a request for transmission of information of a virtual network which is used in the FCoE communication. A protocol processing unit (111) selects an internal VLAN in the internal network which corresponds to the external VLAN. A transmission port (132) communicates, to an end node, information of the internal VLAN as information of the VLAN which is used in the FCoE communication. Based on the internal VLAN and the external VLAN, a packet processing unit (102) carries out the relay of the FCoE communication between the end node and the FCF. |
