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.

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).
• 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 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.
