Abstract
An FSB-enabled SDN system includes an FC storage device coupled to an FSB device by an FCF device. An SDN FSB device couples a server device to the FCF device, and is also coupled to an SDN controller device. The SDN FSB device prevents first FCoE data traffic while allowing FIP data traffic between the server device and the FCF device based on SDN communications from the SDN controller device. The SDN FSB device then forwards FC login communications included in the FIP data traffic to the SDN controller device. If the FSB device then receives a third SDN communication from the SDN controller device that includes an FC source identifier for the server device, it may allow second FCoE data traffic between the server device and the FC storage device if that second FCoE data traffic is associated with the FC source identifier.
