Switch administration and FC0E
The

tab on the
Switch Administration
panel is specific to DCE and CEE configuration and
management. The CEE tab has five subtabs (
Figure 66
) that are used for FCoE switch
administration:
Link Aggregation
VLAN
FCoE Login Group

FC0E configuration tasks
There are several tasks related to FC0E configuration. The following list describes the high level
tasks in a suggested order:
Quality of Service (QoS) configuration (optional)—If you intend to implement a specific QoS
scheme to prioritize data traffic, it is recommended that you finish your QoS configuration
before you begin port configuration. QoS values are referenced when you configure ports.
LLDP-DCBX configuration (optional)—If you intend to implement DCBX, it is recommended that
you finish LLDP-DCBX configuration before you configure ports. LLDP-DCBX values are
referenced when you configure ports.
CEE interface configuration (mandatory).
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) configuration (mandatory)—Ports must be configured before they
can be placed into a LAG. The parameters applied to the LAG reflects on each port that is
member of the LAG.
VLAN configuration (optional)—Port and LAG names are referenced in VLAN configuration, and
must be defined before you can successfully complete a VLAN configuration.
Login group configuration (optional)—Login group configuration is not dependent on any of the
above configurations. It can be done as a separate task.
