Just wanted to have some info .
I was reading a blog there he mentioned that GEN2 Emulex require Trunk mode to be enabled , which is true as we have speprate vlan for data and for SAN traffic.
But in case of Gen1 emulex card it is mentioned that Trunk mode is not manadatory ,we can use the access mode also , As access has to be FCOE vlan in that case.
but when Blogger did some practical this is what conculsion came...
I confirmed that a Gen1 CNA (I’m using Gen1 Emulex CNAs) does not require VLAN trunking to be enabled on the Ethernet interface.
Just wanted to be sure if in LAB we have GEN1 CNA then what is the best practice to make VFC performing FLOGI and accessing the Storage .
if someone has did this in production please highlight here .
Just a random thought
