Deployment Guide
Repeat this step to apply a DCB map to more than one port or port channel.

Creating an FCoE VLAN
Create a dedicated VLAN to send and receive Fibre Channel trac over FCoE links between servers and a fabric over an NPG. The NPG
receives FCoE trac and forwards decapsulated FC frames over FC links to SAN switches in a specied fabric.
1 Create the dedicated VLAN for FCoE trac. Range: 2–4094.
VLAN 1002 is commonly used to transmit FCoE trac.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface vlan vlan-id
When you apply an FCoE map to an Ethernet port , the port is automatically congured as a tagged member of the FCoE VLAN.
Creating an FCoE Map
An FCoE map consists of:
• An association between the dedicated VLAN, used to carry FCoE trac, and the SAN fabric where the storage arrays are installed. Use
a separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to which the FCoE trac is forwarded. Any non-FCoE trac sent on a dedicated FCoE VLAN is
dropped.
• The FC-MAP value, used to generate the fabric-provided MAC address (FPMA). The FPMA is used by servers to transmit FCoE trac
to the fabric. You can associate an FC-MAP with only one FCoE VLAN and conversely, associate an FCoE VLAN with only one FC-
MAP.
• FCF priority, the priority used by a server CNA to select an upstream FCoE forwarder (FCF).
• FIP keepalive (FKA) advertisement timeout.
The values for the FCoE VLAN, fabric ID and FC-MAP must be unique. Apply an FCoE map on downstream server-facing Ethernet ports
and upstream fabric-facing Fibre Channel ports.
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 Congure 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.
