Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO
module.
Usage Information
An FCoE map is a template used to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged fabric. An FCoE map is used to
virtualize upstream FC ports on the switch with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway so that they 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 by providing FCoE-enabled servers and switches with the necessary
parameters to log in to a SAN fabric.
On a switch with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway, you cannot apply an FCoE map is applied on fabric-
facing FC ports and server-facing 10–Gigabit Ethernet ports.
An FCoE map consists of the following parameters: the dedicated FCoE VLAN used for storage trac, the
destination SAN fabric (FC-MAP value), FCF priority used by a server, and the FIP keepalive (FKA) advertisement
timeout.
In each FCoE map, the fabric ID, FC-MAP value, and FCoE VLAN parameters must be unique. Use one FCoE map
to access one SAN fabric. You cannot use the same FCoE map to access dierent fabrics.
To remove an FCoE map from an Ethernet interface, enter the no fcoe-map map-name command in Interface
conguration mode.
