Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE
Switch with the FC Flex IO module.
Usage Information
An FCoE map is a template used to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged
fabric. An FCoE map is used to virtualize upstream FC ports on a switch with the FC
Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway so that they 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 by
providing FCoE-enabled servers and switches with the necessary parameters to log
in to a SAN fabric. Use the fcoe-map command to create an FCoE map.
On a switch with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway, you cannot apply an
FCoE map on fabric-facing FC ports and server-facing Ethernet ports.
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 in order 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.

Commands
fcoe-map — creates an FCoE map which contains the parameters used in the
communication between servers and a SAN fabric.
show fcoe-map — displays the Fibre Channel and FCoE configuration parameters
in FCoE maps.
fabric-id vlan
In an FCoE map, 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.
Syntax
fabric-id fabric-num vlan vlan-id
Parameters
fabric-id fabric-
num
Enter a fabric ID number that is the same as the ID number
of the dedicated VLAN used to carry FCoE storage traffic to
the fabric specified in the FCoE map. You can enter a fabric
ID in the range 1–4094.
vlanvlan-id Enter the ID number of the dedicated VLAN used to carry
FCoE storage traffic between servers and a SAN fabric and
specified with the vlan command in the FCoE map.
