Chapter FCoE configuration using the Fabric OS CLI 16 In this chapter •FCoE configuration guidelines and restrictions 131 •Managing and displaying the FCoE configuration 132 •Managing and displaying the FCoE login configuration 133 •Creating and managing the FCoE login group configuration 135 FCoE configuration guidelines and restrictions Follow these FCoE configuration guidelines and restrictions when configuring FCoE: • Speed negotiation-The Dell M8428-k switch supports auto-negotiated FC link speeds of 2, 4, and 8 Gbps. The Ethernet ports of the Dell M8428-k switch do not support auto-negotiation of Ethernet link speeds. The Ethernet ports only support 10-Gigabit Ethernet. • Features that are not supported on the Dell M8428-k switch or the FCOE10-24 blade: - Virtual fabrics - Admin Domains - Port-based zoning - QoS zoning - Adaptive networking - FC-SP for the FCoE ports - Interop mode - FC routing - Integrated routing - Hot Code Load (HCL) firmware download - Extended fabrics - FICON • The CEE configuration database is maintained in a file separate from the Fabric OS configuration database. Fabric OS configuration management procedures remain unchanged. • FCoE to FCoE traffic across two FCOE10-24 blades can only reach 68% line rate using a port-based routing policy. Using an exchange-based routing policy can avoid the performance drop. • Only WWN zoning of FCoE VF ports is supported. Port-based zoning of the FCoE VF port is not supported. Additionally, inclusion of FCoE VF ports in a zone which has port-based zone members (such as zone members specified by their respective domain and index) is not supported.
