Administrator Guide

1 Create an FCoE map that contains parameters used in the communication between servers and a SAN
fabric.
CONFIGURATION mode
fcoe-map map-name
2 Configure the association between the dedicated VLAN and the fabric where the desired storage arrays
are installed. The fabric and VLAN ID numbers must be the same. Fabric and VLAN ID range: 2–4094.
For example: fabric id 10 vlan 10
FCoE MAP mode
fabric-id fabric-num vlan vlan-id
3 Add a text description of the settings in the FCoE map. Maximum: 32 characters.
FCoE MAP mode
description text
4 Specify the FC-MAP value used to generate a fabric-provided MAC address, which is required to send
FCoE traffic from a server on the FCoE VLAN to the FC fabric specified in Step 2. Enter a unique MAC
address prefix as the FC-MAP value for each fabric. Range: 0EFC00–0EFCFF. Default: None.
FCoE MAP mode
fc-map fc-map-value
5 Configure the priority used by a server CNA to select the FCF for a fabric login (FLOGI). Range: 1–255.
Default: 128.
FCoE MAP mode
fcf-priority priority
6 Enable the monitoring FIP keepalive messages (if it is disabled) to detect if other FCoE devices are
reachable. Default: FIP keepalive monitoring is enabled.
FCoE MAP mode
keepalive
7 Configure the time interval (in seconds) used to transmit FIP keepalive advertisements. Range: 8–90
seconds. Default: 8 seconds.
FCoE MAP mode
fka-adv-period seconds
Applying an FCoE Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports
You can apply multiple FCoE maps on an Ethernet port or port channel. When you apply an FCoE map on a
server-facing port or port channel:
• The port is configured to operate in hybrid mode (accept both tagged and untagged VLAN frames).
