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 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the data packet is a first data packet, the first network switch is configured to receive, from the first network device, a second data packet to be sent to a third network device, the first network switch configured to enforce the zone policy to determine whether the first network device is authorized to send the second data packet to the third network device.
