| 30 | +Date: March 2012 |

| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Description: 'FCoE FCF' instances on the fcoe bus. A FCF is a Fibre Channel |
| 34 | + Forwarder, which is a FCoE switch that can accept FCoE |
| 35 | + (Ethernet) packets, unpack them, and forward the embedded |
| 36 | + Fibre Channel frames into a FC fabric. It can also take |
| 37 | + outbound FC frames and pack them in Ethernet packets to |
| 38 | + be sent to their destination on the Ethernet segment. |
| 39 | +Attributes: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + fabric_name: Identifies the fabric that the FCF services. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + switch_name: Identifies the FCF. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + priority: The switch's priority amongst other FCFs on the same |
| 46 | + fabric. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | + selected: 1 indicates that the switch has been selected for use; |
| 49 | + 0 indicates that the swich will not be used. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + fc_map: The Fibre Channel MAP |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + vfid: The Virtual Fabric ID |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + mac: The FCF's MAC address |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + fka_peroid: The FIP Keep-Alive peroid |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + fabric_state: The internal kernel state |
| 60 | + "Unknown" - Initialization value |
| 61 | + "Disconnected" - No link to the FCF/fabric |
| 62 | + "Connected" - Host is connected to the FCF |
| 63 | + "Deleted" - FCF is being removed from the system |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + dev_loss_tmo: The device loss timeout peroid for this FCF. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Notes: A device loss infrastructre similar to the FC Transport's |
| 68 | + is present in fcoe_sysfs. It is nice to have so that a |
| 69 | + link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count |
| 70 | + used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a |
| 71 | + "Disconnected" state until either the timer expires and the |
| 72 | + FCF becomes "Deleted" or the FCF is rediscovered and becomes |
| 73 | + "Connected." |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +Users: The first user of this interface will be the fcoeadm application, |
| 77 | + which is commonly packaged in the fcoe-utils package. |
