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
