FCoE commands The switch supports FCoE only when operating in advanced mode. For more information about system operating modes, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide. FCoE mode commands fcoe-mode Use fcoe-mode to configure an FCoE mode for the switch. Use undo fcoe-mode to restore the default. Syntax fcoe-mode { fcf | npv } undo fcoe-mode Default A switch operates in non-FCoE mode. Views System view Predefined user roles network-admin network-operator Parameters fcf: Configures the switch to operate in FCF mode. npv: Configures the switch to operate in NPV mode. Usage guidelines The switch supports the following FCoE modes: • FCF mode-A switch operating in this mode is called an FCF switch. Its VFC interfaces support E mode (E_Port) and F mode (F_Port). • NPV mode-A switch operating in this mode is called an NPV switch. Its VFC interfaces support F mode (F_Port) and NP mode (NP_Port). An FCoE-capable switch can operate in the following modes: • FCF mode-When the switch operates in this mode, it can connect to the E_Port on another FCF switch through its E_Port, or connect to the N_Port on a node or the NP_Port on an NPV switch through its F_Port. • NPV mode-When the switch operates in this mode, it can connect to the N_Port on a node through its F_Port or to the F_Port on an FCF switch through its NP_Port. • Non-FCoE mode-When the switch operates in this mode, it is a standard switch and does not provide any FCoE capabilities. 1

FCoE commands
The switch supports FCoE only when operating in advanced mode. For more information about system
operating modes, see
Fundamentals Configuration Guide
.
FCoE mode commands
fcoe-mode
Use
fcoe-mode
to configure an FCoE mode for the switch.
Use
undo fcoe-mode
to restore the default.
Syntax
fcoe-mode
{
fcf
|
npv
}
undo fcoe-mode
Default
A switch operates in non-FCoE mode.
Views
System view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
network-operator
Parameters
fcf
: Configures the switch to operate in FCF mode.
npv
: Configures the switch to operate in NPV mode.
Usage guidelines
The switch supports the following FCoE modes:
•
FCF mode
—A switch operating in this mode is called an FCF switch. Its VFC interfaces support E
mode (E_Port) and F mode (F_Port).
•
NPV mode
—A switch operating in this mode is called an NPV switch. Its VFC interfaces support F
mode (F_Port) and NP mode (NP_Port).
An FCoE-capable switch can operate in the following modes:
•
FCF mode
—When the switch operates in this mode, it can connect to the E_Port on another FCF
switch through its E_Port, or connect to the N_Port on a node or the NP_Port on an NPV switch
through its F_Port.
•
NPV mode
—When the switch operates in this mode, it can connect to the N_Port on a node
through its F_Port or to the F_Port on an FCF switch through its NP_Port.
•
Non-FCoE mode
—When the switch operates in this mode, it is a standard switch and does not
provide any FCoE capabilities.
