Explanation
An FCoE switch has both Ethernet switch and Fibre Channel switch functionalities. The FCoE switch has a Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF), Ethernet Bridge, and set of Ethernet ports and optional FC ports. The function of the FCF is to encapsulate the FC frames, received from the FC port, into the FCoE frames and also to de-encapsulate the FCoE frames, received from the Ethernet Bridge, to the FC frames.
