Configuring a VLAN interface to forward FCoE traffic

Page 58 highlights

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL 4 VLAN configuration and management Example of selecting the VLAN interface number "55". switch(config)#interface vlan 55 3. Enter the spanning-tree shutdown command to disable spanning tree on VLAN 1002. switch(conf-if-vl-55)#spanning-tree shutdown Configuring a VLAN interface to forward FCoE traffic An FCoE Forwarder (FCF) is an FCoE device that supports FCoE VF_ports. It is the equivalent of an FC switch. A VLAN can be made FCF-capable. Only FCF-capable VLANs can carry FCoE traffic. To configure a VLAN interface to forward FCoE traffic, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode. 1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 2. Enter the interface command to select the VLAN interface number. Example of selecting the VLAN interface number "1002". switch(config)#interface vlan 1002 3. Enter the fcf forward command to enable the forwarding of FCoE traffic on the VLAN interface. switch(conf-if-vl-1002)#fcf forward Configuring an interface port as a Layer 2 switch port To configure the interface as a Layer 2 switch port, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode. 1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 2. Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number. Example of selecting the Ten Gigabit Ethernet port number 0/1. switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/1 3. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface. 4. Enter the switchport command to configure the interface as a Layer 2 switch port. 5. Enter the do show command to confirm the status of the CEE interface. For example switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#do show interface tengigabitethernet 0/1 6. Enter the do show command to confirm the status of the CEE interface running configuration. switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#do show running-config interface tengigabitethernet 0/1 Configuring an interface port as an access interface Each CEE interface port supports admission policies based on whether the frames are untagged or tagged. Access mode admits only untagged and priority-tagged frames. To configure the interface as an access interface, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode. 36 Converged Enhanced Ethernet Administrator's Guide 53-1001761-01

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
Example of selecting the VLAN interface number “55”.
switch(config)#
interface vlan 55
3.
Enter the
spanning-tree shutdown
command to disable spanning tree on VLAN 1002.
switch(conf-if-vl-55)#
spanning-tree shutdown
Configuring a VLAN interface to forward FCoE traffic
An FCoE Forwarder (FCF) is an FCoE device that supports FCoE VF_ports. It is the equivalent of an
FC switch. A VLAN can be made FCF-capable. Only FCF-capable VLANs can carry FCoE traffic.
To configure a VLAN interface to forward FCoE traffic, perform the following steps from Privileged
EXEC mode.
1.
Enter the
configure terminal
command to access global configuration mode.
2.
Enter the
interface
command to select the VLAN interface number.
Example of selecting the VLAN interface number “1002”.
switch(config)#
interface vlan 1002
3.
Enter the
fcf forward
command to enable the forwarding of FCoE traffic on the VLAN interface.
switch(conf-if-vl-1002)#
fcf forward
Configuring an interface port as a Layer 2 switch port
To configure the interface as a Layer 2 switch port, perform the following steps from Privileged
EXEC mode.
1.
Enter the
configure terminal
command to access global configuration mode.
2.
Enter the
interface
command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.
Example of selecting the Ten Gigabit Ethernet port number 0/1.
switch(config)#
interface tengigabitethernet 0/1
3.
Enter the
no shutdown
command to enable the CEE interface.
4.
Enter the
switchport
command to configure the interface as a Layer 2 switch port.
5.
Enter the
do show
command to confirm the status of the CEE interface. For example
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#
do show interface tengigabitethernet 0/1
6.
Enter the
do show
command to confirm the status of the CEE interface running configuration.
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#
do show running-config interface tengigabitethernet 0/1
Configuring an interface port as an access interface
Each CEE interface port supports admission policies based on whether the frames are untagged or
tagged. Access mode admits only untagged and priority-tagged frames.
To configure the interface as an access interface, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC
mode.
