Usage Information

An FCoE map is a template to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged fabric. An FCoE map virtualizes

upstream FC ports on an NPIV proxy gateway to appear to downstream server CNA ports as FCoE forwarder

(FCF) ports on an FCoE network. When applied to FC and Ethernet ports on an NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE

map allows the switch to operate as an FCoE-FC bridge between an FC SAN and an FCoE network. It provides

necessary parameters to FCoE-enabled servers and switches to log in to a SAN fabric.

On an FN IOM NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map is applied on fabric-facing FC ports and server-facing Ethernet

ports. Use the fcoe-map command to apply an FCoE map on an Ethernet port. Use the fabric command to

apply an FCoE map on an FC port.

An FCoE map consists of the following parameters: the dedicated FCoE VLAN for storage trac, the destination

SAN fabric (FC-MAP value), FCF priority, and the FIP keepalive (FKA) advertisement timeout.

To remove an FCoE map from an Ethernet interface, enter the no fcoe-map map-name command in Interface

conguration mode.

NOTE: In FCF F mode, you can create only 1 FCoE map. It doesn’t get created automatically. If you try

to create more than 1 map, an error message is displayed.
