Abstract
A Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) network can be inexpensively extended by additional switches (x) that do not have a full FCoE functionality, e.g. do not have full E-port functionality. The additional switches may or may not have unique Domain IDs. A virtual switch fabric can be extended by such additional switches.
