Multifabric Global Header

View page
US Patent:
8059664, Nov 15, 2011
Filed:
Jul 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/909277
Inventors:
Steven L. Wilson - Los Gatos CA, US
Robert Norman Snively - Morgan Hill CA, US
Edward D. McClanahan - Pleasanton CA, US
Dennis Hideo Makishima - Mountain View CA, US
Daniel Ji Yong Park Chung - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370401, 709245, 709246, 709249
Abstract:
A Fiber Channel router used to join fabrics. EX_ports are used to connect to the fabrics. The EX_port joins the fabric but the router will not merge into the fabric. Ports in the Fiber Channel router can be in a fabric, but other ports can be connected to other fabrics. Fiber Channel routers can be interconnected using a backbone fabric. Global, interfabric and encapsulation headers are developed to allow routing by conventional Fiber Channel switch devices in the backbone fabric and simplify Fiber Channel router routing. Phantom domains and devices must be developed for each of the fabrics being interconnected. Front phantom domains are present at each port directly connected to a fabric. Each of these is then connected to at least one translate phantom domain. Zoning is accomplished by use of a special LSAN zoning naming convention. This allows each administrator to independently define devices are accessible.

Address Assignment In Fibre Channel Over Ethernet Environments

Appl. No.:
12/337471
Inventors:
Robert Norman Snively - Morgan Hill CA, US
Sandra Snively, legal representative - Morgan Hill CA, US
Ezio Valdevit - Redwood City CA, US
Suresh Vobbilisetty - San Jose CA, US
John Hufferd - San Jose CA, US

Assignee:
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709200, 709208, 709228, 709238, 709230, 709224, 370401, 370357, 370474, 370465, 370539
Abstract:
A method of initializing a Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) link between a Fiber Channel over Ethernet node (ENode) and Fiber Channel Forwarders (FCFs) in a network by discovering the presence of FCFs available to the ENode and other FCFs, assigning second MAC addresses to the ENode corresponding to each available FCF, and converting from a management and initialization process using the first MAC address to normal Fiber Channel operation using the second MAC addresses. The implementations described herein may additionally distinguish management and initialization processes from normal Fiber Channel operation using separate Ethertypes.

Discovery Of Duplicate Address In A Network By Reviewing Discovery Frames Received At A Port

View page
US Patent:
8583780, Nov 12, 2013
Filed:
Nov 17, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/272096
Inventors:
Robert Snively - Morgan Hill CA, US
Assignee:
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
G06F 15/173
G06F 15/177
US Classification:
709224, 709217
Abstract:
A duplicate address discovery process detects duplicate MAC addresses or duplicate unique port identifiers within the network, alerts attached devices of the duplicates, and takes action to avoid data corruption that might be caused by such duplicate addresses.

Transmit Adaptive Equalization Using Ordered Sets

View page
US Patent:
20060067387, Mar 30, 2006
Filed:
Sep 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/955997
Inventors:
Ali Ahmed - Macungie PA, US
Robert Brink - Coopersburg PA, US
Lane Smith - Easton PA, US
Robert Snively - Morgan Hill CA, US
International Classification:
H04B 1/38
US Classification:
375219000
Abstract:
In a communication system comprising first and second nodes, a transmit adaptive equalization technique is implemented utilizing ordered sets. The first and second nodes may communicate over a Fibre Channel link or other medium. The first and second nodes comprise respective transmitter and receiver pairs, with the transmitter of the first node configured for communication with the receiver of the second node and the receiver of the first node configured for communication with the transmitter of the second node. The first node is operative to receive from the second node information specifying an adjustment to one or more equalization parameters of the first node. The information is received in designated portions of one or more ordered sets transmitted from the second node to the first node in conjunction with initialization of a communication link between the first and second nodes. The first node adjusts the equalization parameter(s) in accordance with the received information.

Fibre Channel Over Ethernet Frame

View page
US Patent:
20080159260, Jul 3, 2008
Filed:
Dec 17, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/958319
Inventors:
Suresh Vobbilisetty - San Jose CA, US
Robert Norman Snively - Morgan Hill CA, US
Glenn Charles Wenig - Pleasanton CA, US
Hiren Desai - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370351
Abstract:
A Fibre Channel over Ethernet (“FCoE”) frame format allows a Fibre Channel (“FC”) base frame to be transmitted and routed through an Ethernet network. In one implementation, an FCoE frame includes SCSI information represented in a FC frame to which is prepended an FCoE header. The FCoE header/FC frame combination is encapsulated in an Ethernet frame shell to form an FCoE frame. Implementations of the FCoE frame may include an FCoE header containing fields and data pertaining to the version of the FCoE header of the FCoE frame, synchronized time values, various flags, directional values, and type values.

Access Control List Management In An Fcoe Environment

View page
US Patent:
20090296726, Dec 3, 2009
Filed:
Jun 3, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/477816
Inventors:
Robert Norman Snively - Morgan Hill CA, US
Sandra Snively - Morgan Hill CA, US
Anoop Ghanwani - Rocklin CA, US
Assignee:
BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, INC. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/56
US Classification:
370401
Abstract:
A Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF) suspends a fabric session with a virtual machine (VM) in response to receipt of a deregister message from the virtual machine through an Ethernet bridge and transmits a deregister acceptance message to the VM. The Ethernet bridge detects the messages and updates its Access Control List (ACL) to remove the MAC address of the VM. While the fabric session is suspended, a virtual machine may migrate to another physical machine without terminating its connection to the fabric. After migration, the FCF resumes its fabric session with the VM in response to receipt of a register message from the VM through a second Ethernet bridge. The FCF responds to the register message with a register acceptance message. The Ethernet bridge detects the messages and updates its Access Control List (ACL) to add the MAC address of the VM.
