Configuring Switch Mode to FCF Port
Mode
To configure switch mode to Fabric services, use the following commands.
1 Configure Switch mode to FCF Port.
CONFIGURATION mode
feature fc fport domain id 2
NOTE: Enable remote-fault-signaling rx off command in FCF FPort mode on interfaces
connected to the Compellent and MDF storage devices.
2 Create an FCoE map with the parameters used in the communication between servers and a SAN fabric.
CONFIGURATION mode
fcoe-map map-name
3 Configure the association between the dedicated VLAN used to carry FCoE traffic between servers and a
SAN, and the fabric where the desired storage arrays are installed.
FCOE MAP mode
fabric-id fabric-num vlan vlan-id
4 Configure the FCoE mapped address prefix (FC-MAP) value which is used to identify FCoE traffic
transmitted on the FCoE VLAN for the specified fabric.
FCOE MAP mode
fc-map fc-map-value
5 Configure the SAN fabric to which the FC port connects by entering the name of the FCoE map applied
to the interface.
INTERFACE mode
fcoe-map <fcoe-map-name> tengigabitEthernet slot/port
The FCoE map contains FCoE and FC parameter settings (refer to FCoE Maps). Manually apply the
fcoe-map to any Ethernet ports used for FCoE.
Name Server
Each participant in the FC environment has a unique ID, which is called the World Wide Name (WWN). This
WWN is a 64-bit address.
A Fibre Channel fabric uses another addressing scheme to address the ports in the switched fabric. Each port
in the switched fabric is assigned a 24-bit address by the FC switch. When the device logs into the switch
fabric on a specific port with its WWN, the switch assigns the port address to that port, and the switch also
