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 traffic, 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 different fabrics.
To remove an FCoE map from an Ethernet interface, enter the no fcoe-map
map-name command in Interface configuration mode.
