VLANs for SmartFabrics and FCoE Create VLANs before creating the SmartFabric. The first VLAN that is created must be the default or native VLAN, typically VLAN 1. The default VLAN must be created for any untagged traffic to cross the fabric. If you are implementing Fibre Channel configurations, you can also configure VLANs for FCoE. The storage arrays have two separate controllers that create two paths-SAN path A and SAN path B. These paths are connected to MX9116n FSE. For storage traffic to be redundant, two separate VLANs are created for that traffic. The following table lists examples of VLAN attributes for FCoE traffic: Table 20. VLAN attributes for FCoE Name FC A1 FC A2 Description FCOE A1 FCOE A2 Network Type Storage - FCoE Storage - FCoE VLAN ID 30 40 SAN A B Defining VLANs To define VLANs: 1.
