Techniques are provided for receiving at a proxy device in a network, a login request from a source device, e.g., a Fiber Channel server in a server virtualization cluster, to access a destination device, a Fiber Channel storage array. The source device does not or need not have direct access to the destination device. A response to the login request is sent that is configured to appear to the source device that the response is from the destination device. The proxy device logs into the destination device on behalf of the source device to obtain access to the destination device. The proxy device receives first network traffic frames associated with a service flow between the source device and the destination device from the source device that are destined for the destination device. Information is overwritten within the first network traffic frames such that the first network traffic frames appear to originate from the proxy device when transmitted to the destination device. The first network traffic frames are transmitted from the proxy device to the destination device. Techniques are also provided herein for performing similar operations on frames sent from the destination device to the proxy device. |
