This trivial daemon provides control plane Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) fabric services including a basic FIP responder and name server. It can be used to emulate the presence of a Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF) capable switch, in order to test fabric-mode FCoE operations.
This software has absolutely zero robustness and absolutely cannot be used in anything even remotely approaching a production environment.
To create a trivial setup for testing against an FCoE target with everything running on a local machine:
Create FCoE network interfaces:
sudo ip link add br-fcoe type bridge
sudo ip link set br-fcoe up
sudo ip link add fcoe1 address 02:fc:0e:00:00:01 type veth peer name vfcoe1
sudo ip link set fcoe1 up
sudo ip link set vfcoe1 up master br-fcoe
Build and run fcoed on the FCoE bridge interface:
make
sudo ./fcoed br-fcoe
Enable FCoE on the FCoE port:
sudo fcoeadm -c fcoe1
You should at this point see system log messages pertaining to the registration of the FCoE port, e.g.:
fcoed: received FIP discovery from MAC 02:fc:0e:00:00:01 name 10:00:02:fc:0e:00:00:01
fcoed: added MAC 0e:fc:00:18:ae:01 (really 02:fc:0e:00:00:01) as port ID 18.ae.01
fcoed: FC GS PLOGI from ID 18.ae.01 PN 20:00:02:fc:0e:00:00:01
fcoed: FC NS register NN 10:00:02:fc:0e:00:00:01 for ID 18.ae.01
fcoed: FC NS register SNN "fcoe v0.1 over fcoe1" for NN 10:00:02:fc:0e:00:00:01
fcoed: FC NS register SPN "fcoe v0.1 over fcoe1" for ID 18.ae.01
Create an FCoE target:
sudo targetcli /tcm_fc create naa.200002fc0e000001
sudo targetcli /tcm_fc/naa.200002fc0e000001/luns create /backstores/<device>
sudo targetcli /tcm_fc/naa.200002fc0e000001/acls create naa.<port_id>
