Connectivity to Cisco Fabrics

Adding or deleting an OUI from the Company ID List

The following example shows how to add or delete an OUI (0x112233) from the Company ID List.

Enter the following command:

config t

Enter the following command to add the OUI ID 0x112233 to list:

fcid-allocation area company-id 0x112233

Enter the following command to delete the OUI ID 0x445566 from list:

no fcid-allocation area company-id 0x445566

Enter the following command to display the list:

do show fcid-allocation area

Press

Ctrl-Z

to exit.

Issue the following command to save the MDS switch configuration.

copy run start

Ensure that the OUI IDs of the attached target devices are listed in the updated Company ID List.

After you update the list, you are ready to connect the Access Gateway device. If any of the AG

server ports (F_Ports) report that the port is disabled with reason code “Duplicate ALPA Detected,”

then use the follow considerations:

•

Ensure that the debug FLOGI mode is not enabled; Cisco does not support NPIV when FLOGI

debug is set. Run the

show debug flogi

command to verify that the FLOGI mode is not enabled.

If the FLOGI mode is enabled, you must disable it using the following FLOGI debug commands:

config t

no flogi debug

Press

Ctrl-Z

to exit

copy run start

Saves MDS switch configuration

•

By default, if this is a new or an existing VSAN to use with the switch in Access Gateway mode,

the default policy for access is “deny.” Either set it to “permit” or zone the devices for access.

•

Access Gateway is compatible with Cisco VSAN, Dynamic Port VSAN (DVPM), and Inter-VSAN

Routing (IVR) features; however, you may need to use the AG Port Grouping policy to take full

advantage of these MDS features. For more information on the Port Grouping policy, see the

“Adaptive Networking on Access Gateway”

on page 46.

Enabling Flat FCID mode if no FC target devices on switch

Alternatively, you can place the Cisco switch FCID allocation mode into FLAT mode using the

following procedure.

Enter the following command.

config t

fcinterop fcid-allocation flat

Enter the following command to enable VSAN mode:

vsan database
