FCoE configuration guidelines and restrictions
Follow these FCoE configuration guidelines and restrictions when configuring FCoE:
•
Speed negotiation—The Brocade 8000 switch supports auto-negotiated FC link speeds of 2, 4,
and 8 Gbps. The Ethernet ports of the Brocade 8000 switch do not support auto-negotiation of
Ethernet link speeds. The Ethernet ports only support 10-Gigabit Ethernet.

FCoE to FCoE traffic across two FCOE10-24 blades can only reach 68% line rate using a port
based routing policy. Using an exchange based routing policy can avoid the performance drop.

Only WWN zoning of FCoE VF ports is supported. Port-based zoning of the FCoE VF port is not
supported. Additionally, inclusion of FCoE VF ports in a zone which has port-based zone
members (such as zone members specified by their respective domain and index) is not
supported.
