Abstract
Method and system for a network is provided. The system includes a computing system operationally coupled to a first switch via a first adapter; a first storage system operationally coupled to the first switch via a second adapter; and a second switch operationally coupled to the first switch and to a second storage system. The second switch allocates addresses from an address range to the first adapter and the second adapter such that the first switch is able to route information between the computing system, the first storage system and the second storage system. The first switch upon receiving a frame from the second switch uses a dual stage selection mechanism for determining a port for routing the frame to the first storage system and to the computing system.
