Cisco Fabric Manager Send documentation comments to [email protected] Cisco Fabric Manager Beginning with Cisco Fabric Manager release 3.4(1a), Nexus 5000 Series switches are supported by Fabric Manager. If you are deploying Nexus 5000 Series switches with FCoE, you should operate Fabric Manager in Display FCoE mode. Display FCoE mode displays additional tree nodes, menu items, toolbar buttons, and topology nodes and links related to FCoE. To convert to Display FCoE mode, edit the server.properties file to set the display FCoE property to true. For additional information about Fabric Manager, see Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch Fabric Manager Software Configuration Guide, Release 4.0 The following sections apply to Fabric Manager support for Nexus 5000 series switches: • Limitations, page 22 • Caveats, page 22 Limitations This section lists the Cisco Fabric Manager limitations related to managing Nexus 5000 series switches. Ethernet Configuration You cannot configure physical Ethernet interfaces using Fabric Manager or Device Manager. You must configure physical Ethernet interfaces using CLI commands.

The workaround is to configure SPAN using CLI commands. Zoning In the Edit Local Full Zone Database tool, virtual Fibre Channel interfaces must be specified using the Switch Port WWN method of adding members to a zone. In the Add Members to Zone dialog box, the Switch & Port method and the Domain & Port method are not supported for virtual Fibre Channel interfaces.
