The F_Port and NPG modes are mutually exclusive. If you have already configured a vfabric in F_Port mode, while configuring vfabrics in NPG mode, disable the F_Port mode. The existing vfabric is removed when you disable F_Port mode and you need to configure new vfabrics in NPG mode. If you are moving from NPG mode to F_Port mode, then disable the NPG mode and create new vfabric in F_Port mode. Zoning allows you to increase network security by partitioning the devices connected to the vfabric into subsets. Partitioning restricts unnecessary interactions between the members of vfabric. See also Fibre Channel zoning. After configuring a vfabric ID, you can create a name, associate a VLAN to carry traffic to the vfabric, configure FCoE parameters, configure the default zone, and activate the zoneset. NOTE: Do not associate a VLAN that is already in use, as a vfabric VLAN. Configure vfabric in F_Port mode 1 Configure a vfabric using the vfabric fabric-ID command in CONFIGURATION mode. The switch enters vfabric CONFIGURATION mode. Enter the following commands. 2 Associate a VLAN ID to the vfabric with the vlan vlan-ID command. 3 Add an FC map with the fcoe fcmap fc-map command. 4 Activate a zoneset using the zoneset activate zoneset-name command. 5 Allow access to all logged-in members in the absence of active zoneset configuration using the zone default-zone permit command. The logged-in members are the Fibre channel nodes that are successfully logged into the FC fabric, identified by the vfabric. 6 (Optional) Add a name to the vfabric using the name vfabric-name command. 7 Apply the vfabric to FC interfaces using the vfabric fabric-ID command in FC INTERFACE mode. Example configuration of vfabric in F_Port mode OS10(config)# vfabric 100 OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# name 100 OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# vlan 1023 OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# fcoe fcmap 0xEFC64 OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# zoneset activate set OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# zone default-zone permit OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# exit OS10(config)# interface fibrechannel 1/1/1 OS10(conf-if-fc1/1/1)# vfabric 100 View vfabric configuration OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# show configuration ! vfabric 100 name 100 vlan 1023 fcoe fcmap 0xEFC64 zoneset activate set zone default-zone permit OS10# show vfabric Fabric Name 100 Fabric Type FPORT Fabric Id 100 Vlan Id 1023 FC-MAP 0xEFC64 Config-State ACTIVE Oper-State UP Switch Config Parameters Domain ID 100 Fibre channel 137
