Abstract

See full text

A virtual switch for use in fiber channel applications is described herein. In an exemplary implementation, a virtual switch is created. The virtual switch stores control-traffic-information associated with a device in a remote autonomous region of a fabric. The device has a domain ID associated with the autonomous region in which it is located. A virtual domain ID associated with the virtual switch is assigned to the device. Accordingly, the virtual domain ID is provided to other autonomous regions for sharing the device.
