Abstract:
In some examples, a network switch can connect to another network device in a Storage Area Network (SAN) to allow the network switch and the other network device to transfer data therebetween. The network switch can further receive a multicast advertisement message from the other network device. The network switch can parse the advertisement message to identify LUN metadata attributes for the other networking device.
