Step Task You cannot apply a DCB map on a port channel. However, you can apply a DCB map on the ports that are members of the port channel. Command 2 Apply the DCB map on an Ethernet port or dcb-map name port channel. The port is configured with the PFC and ETS settings in the DCB map, for example: Dell# interface tengigabitEthernet 0/0 Dell(config-if-te-0/0)# dcb-map SAN_DCB1 Repeat this step to apply a DCB map to more than one port or port channel. Command Mode INTERFACE Creating an FCoE VLAN Create a dedicated VLAN to send and receive Fibre Channel traffic over FCoE links between servers and a fabric over an NPG. The NPG receives FCoE traffic and forwards decapsulated FC frames over FC links to SAN switches in a specified fabric. Step 1 Task Create the dedicated VLAN for FCoE traffic. Range: 2-4094. VLAN 1002 is commonly used to transmit FCoE traffic. Command Command Mode interface vlan vlan- CONFIGURATION id When you apply an FCoE map to an Ethernet port , the port is automatically configured as a tagged member of the FCoE VLAN. Creating an FCoE Map An FCoE map consists of: • An association between the dedicated VLAN, used to carry FCoE traffic, and the SAN fabric where the storage arrays are installed. Use a separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to which the FCoE traffic is forwarded. Any non-FCoE traffic sent on a dedicated FCoE VLAN is dropped. • The FC-MAP value, used to generate the fabric-provided MAC address (FPMA). The FPMA is used by servers to transmit FCoE traffic to the fabric. You can associate an FC-MAP with only one FCoE VLAN and conversely, associate an FCoE VLAN with only one FC-MAP. • FCF priority, the priority used by a server CNA to select an upstream FCoE forwarder (FCF). • FIP keepalive (FKA) advertisement timeout. The values for the FCoE VLAN, fabric ID and FC-MAP must be unique. Apply an FCoE map on downstream server-facing Ethernet ports and upstream fabric-facing Fibre Channel ports. 256 NPIV Proxy Gateway
