Applying an FCoE Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports

Page 257 highlights

Step 1 Task Command Create an FCoE map that contains parameters fcoe-map map-name used in the communication between servers and a SAN fabric. Command Mode CONFIGURATION 2 Configure the association between the fabric-id fabric-num FCoE MAP dedicated VLAN and the fabric where the vlan vlan-id desired storage arrays are installed. The fabric and VLAN ID numbers must be the same. Fabric and VLAN ID range: 2-4094. For example: fabric id 10 vlan 10 3 Add a text description of the settings in the description text FCoE MAP FCoE map. Maximum: 32 characters. 4 Specify the FC-MAP value used to generate a fc-map fc-map-value FCoE MAP fabric-provided MAC address, which is required to send FCoE traffic from a server on the FCoE VLAN to the FC fabric specified in Step 2. Enter a unique MAC address prefix as the FC-MAP value for each fabric. Range: 0EFC00-0EFCFF. Default: None. 5 Configure the priority used by a server CNA to fcf-priority select the FCF for a fabric login (FLOGI). priority Range: 1-255. Default: 128. FCoE MAP 6 Enable the monitoring FIP keepalive messages keepalive (if it is disabled) to detect if other FCoE devices are reachable. Default: FIP keepalive monitoring is enabled. FCoE MAP 7 Configure the time interval (in seconds) used fka-adv-period to transmit FIP keepalive advertisements. seconds Range: 8-90 seconds. Default: 8 seconds. FCoE MAP Applying an FCoE Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports You can apply multiple FCoE maps on an Ethernet port or port channel. When you apply an FCoE map on a server-facing port or port channel: • The port is configured to operate in hybrid mode (accept both tagged and untagged VLAN frames). • The associated FCoE VLAN is enabled on the port or port channel. When you enable a server-facing Ethernet port, the servers respond to the FIP advertisements by performing FLOGIs on upstream virtualized FCF ports. The NPG forwards the FLOGIs as FDISC messages to a SAN switch. NPIV Proxy Gateway 257

Applying an FCoE Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports
You can apply multiple FCoE maps on an Ethernet port or port channel. When you apply an FCoE map on
a server-facing port or port channel:
The port is configured to operate in hybrid mode (accept both tagged and untagged VLAN frames).
The associated FCoE VLAN is enabled on the port or port channel.
When you enable a server-facing Ethernet port, the servers respond to the FIP advertisements by
performing FLOGIs on upstream virtualized FCF ports. The NPG forwards the FLOGIs as FDISC messages
to a SAN switch.
