Usage Information
An FCoE map is a template used to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged
fabric. An FCoE map virtualizes the 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. Use the fcoe-map command to create an
FCoE map.
On an FN IOM NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map is applied on fabric-facing FC
ports and server-facing Ethernet ports. Use the fabric command to apply an
FCoE map on an FC port. Use the fcoe-map command to apply an FCoE map on
an Ethernet port.
After you apply an FCoE map on an FC interface, when the port is enabled (no
shutdown), the NPIV proxy gateway starts sending FIP multicast advertisements on
behalf of the FC port to downstream servers to advertise the availability of a new
FCF port on the FCoE VLAN.
To remove an FCoE map from an FC interface, enter the no fabric map-name
command in Interface configuration mode.
