Switch administration and FCoE 17 Switch administration and FCoE The DCB tab on the Switch Administration window is specific to DCE and DCB configuration and management. The DCB tab has five subtabs (Figure 47) that are used for FCoE switch administration: • Link Aggregation • VLAN • FCoE Login Group • QoS • LLDP-DCBX FIGURE 47 Switch Administration DCB subtabs FC0E configuration tasks There are several tasks related to FC0E configuration. The following list describes the high level tasks in a suggested order: • Quality of Service (QoS) configuration (optional)-If you intend to implement a specific QoS scheme to prioritize data traffic, it is recommended that you finish your QoS configuration before you begin port configuration. QoS values are referenced when you configure ports. • LLDP-DCBX configuration (optional)-If you intend to implement DCBX, it is recommended that you finish LLDP-DCBX configuration before you configure ports. LLDP-DCBX values are referenced when you configure ports. • DCB interface configuration (mandatory). • Link Aggregation Group (LAG) configuration (mandatory)-Ports must be configured before they can be placed into a LAG. The parameters applied to the LAG reflects on each port that is member of the LAG. • VLAN configuration (optional)-Port and LAG names are referenced in VLAN configuration, and must be defined before you can successfully complete a VLAN configuration. • Login group configuration (optional)-Login group configuration is not dependent on any of the above configurations. It can be done as a separate task.
