1 Introduction Our vision at Dell EMC is to be the essential infrastructure company from the edge, to the core, and to the cloud. Dell EMC Networking ensures modernization for today's applications and for the emerging cloud-native world. Dell EMC is committed to disrupting the fundamental economics of the market with an open strategy that gives you the freedom of choice for networking operating systems and top-tier merchant silicon. The Dell EMC strategy enables business transformations that maximize the benefits of collaborative software and standards-based hardware, including lowered costs, flexibility, freedom, and security. Dell EMC provides further customer enablement through validated deployment guides which demonstrate these benefits while maintaining a high standard of quality, consistency, and support. Dell EMC Networking offers several switch models that may be used as a leaf pair in a leaf-spine network environment. Each of these switches can be used as a FIP Snooping Bridge (FSB) to provide transit for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic from server nodes to a dedicated FC storage network. Examples of common leaf switches are the S4100 series, S4200 series, and S5200 series switches. This guide covers configuration of the FCoE and FC portion of the network. The configuration includes two Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4148U-ON switches in F_Port mode, two S5248-ON leaf switches as FSBs, PowerEdge servers, FCoE converged network adapters (CNAs), VMware ESXi hosts, and a Unity 500F storage array. The goal of this guide is to enable a network administrator or deployment services engineer to deploy a pair of OS10EE leaf switches in FSB mode, and a pair of S4148U-ONs in F_Port mode in an FC environment using the hardware and software described. 6 Dell EMC Networking OS10EE FCoE Deployment with FSB

Introduction
Our vision at Dell EMC is to be the essential infrastructure company from the edge, to the core, and to the
cloud. Dell EMC Networking ensures modernization for today’s applications and for the emerging cloud-native
world. Dell EMC is committed to disrupting the fundamental economics of the market with an open strategy
that gives you the freedom of choice for networking operating systems and top-tier merchant silicon. The Dell
EMC strategy enables business transformations that maximize the benefits of collaborative software and
standards-based hardware, including lowered costs, flexibility, freedom, and security. Dell EMC provides
further customer enablement through validated deployment guides which demonstrate these benefits while
maintaining a high standard of quality, consistency, and support.
Dell EMC Networking offers several switch models that may be used as a leaf pair in a leaf-spine network
environment. Each of these switches can be used as a FIP Snooping Bridge (FSB) to provide transit for Fibre
Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic from server nodes to a dedicated FC storage network. Examples of
common leaf switches are the S4100 series, S4200 series, and S5200 series switches.
This guide covers configuration of the FCoE and FC portion of the network. The configuration includes two
Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4148U-ON switches in F_Port mode, two S5248-ON leaf switches as FSBs,
PowerEdge servers, FCoE converged network adapters (CNAs), VMware ESXi hosts, and a Unity 500F
storage array. The goal of this guide is to enable a network administrator or deployment services engineer to
deploy a pair of OS10EE leaf switches in FSB mode, and a pair of S4148U-ONs in F_Port mode in an FC
environment using the hardware and software described.
