To achieve optimal performance for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) storage traffic, jumbo frames should be configured on the network.

Jumbo frames refer to larger Ethernet frames, typically with a maximum transmission unit (MTU) of 9000 bytes or more, compared to the standard MTU of 1500 bytes. By increasing the MTU size, jumbo frames can reduce the number of frames that need to be transmitted, which in turn reduces the overhead associated with transmitting data over the network.

This reduction in overhead can improve network performance for applications such as FCoE, which require high throughput and low latency. In addition, jumbo frames can also reduce the CPU utilization on network devices by processing larger frames and thereby reducing the number of interrupts and context switches.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) and DHCP snooping are not related to improving performance for FCoE traffic. PoE is used to provide power to network devices such as IP phones and wireless access points, while DHCP snooping is a security feature that prevents rogue DHCP servers from assigning IP addresses on the network.

A virtual IP address is used to provide redundancy and failover capabilities for network devices such as routers and servers, but it is not directly related to improving performance for FCoE storage traffic.
