Abstract:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a first network switch configured to be within a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) network, which has a set of network switches including the first network switch. The first network switch is configured to receive, from a first network device, a login signal including a proposed logical identifier for the first network device. The first network switch is configured to send, in response to the login signal, a multicast signal including the proposed logical identifier to remaining network switches from the set of network switches. As a result, a second network switch from the set of network switches enforces a zone policy in response to receiving the multicast signal and prior to sending the proposed logical identifier to a second network device.

Claim (Index 16):
The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the proposed logical identifier is selected by the first network device using a pseudo-random number generator.
