This figure illustrates the addition of FCoE links into the configuration. Much of the following
information will be centered on simply adding in these additional links into the configuration. The
example is based on the previous steps in this scenario for the purposes of building in different steps.
Note that the listed VSAN’s and VLAN’s to be used will be different on each side on the switch.
