• The associated FCoE VLAN is enabled on the port or port channel.
When you enable a server-facing Ethernet port, the servers respond to the FIP advertisements by performing
FLOGIs on upstream virtualized FCF ports. The NPG forwards the FLOGIs as fabric discovery (FDISC)
messages to a SAN switch.
1 Configure a server-facing Ethernet port or port channel with an FCoE map.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface {tengigabitEthernet slot/port | port-channel num}
2 Apply the FCoE/FC configuration in an FCoE map on the Ethernet port. Repeat this step to apply an FCoE
map to more than one port.

Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-facing FC Ports
The FN IOM, with the FC Flex IO module FC ports, are configured by default to operate in N port mode to
connect to an F port on an FC switch in a fabric. You can apply only one FCoE map on an FC port.
When you apply an FCoE map on a fabric-facing FC port, the FC port becomes part of the FCoE fabric, whose
settings in the FCoE map are configured on the port and exported to downstream server CNA ports.
Each FN IOM, with the FC Flex IO module FC port, is associated with an Ethernet MAC address (FCF MAC
address). When you enable a fabric-facing FC port, the FCoE map applied to the port starts sending FIP
multicast advertisements using the parameters in the FCoE map over server-facing Ethernet ports. A server
sees the FC port, with its applied FCoE map, as an FCF port.
1 Configure a fabric-facing FC port.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface fibrechannel slot/port
2 Apply the FCoE and FC fabric configurations in an FCoE map to the port. Repeat this step to apply an
FCoE map to more than one FC port.
