Abstract:
1. A method for processing Fibre Channel Name Server query request frames by a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) device interconnection apparatus (FIA) and a FCoE device interconnection apparatus controller (FIAC), comprising: receiving a Fibre Channel Name Server query request frame from a Fibre Channel device at the FIA, encapsulating the Fibre Channel Name Server query request frame into a FCoE frame at the FIA, transmitting from the FIA the FCoE Name Server query request frame to the FIAC, receiving at the FIAC the FCoE Name Server query request frame, processing the FCoE Name Server query request frame, transmitting a FCoE Name Server response frame by the FIAC to the FIA, receiving the FCoE Name Server response frame by the FIA, decapsulating the FCoE Name Server response frame into a Fibre Channel Name Server response frame at the FIA, and transmitting the Fibre Channel Name Server response frame back to the Fibre Channel device.
