Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-facing FC Ports
The Aggregator, with the FC ports, are congured 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 congured on the port and exported to downstream server CNA ports.
Each Aggregator, with the 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 Congure a fabric-facing FC port.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface fibrechannel slot/port
2 Apply the FCoE and FC fabric congurations in an FCoE map to the port. Repeat this step to apply an FCoE map to more than one
FC port.

Dell# interface fi 0/9
Dell(config-if-fc-0/9)# fabric SAN_FABRIC_A
3 Enable the port for FC transmission.

no shutdown
Important Points to Remember
You can apply a DCB or FCoE map to a range of Ethernet or Fibre Channel interfaces by using the interface range command; for
example:
Dell(config)# interface range tengigabitEthernet 0/1 - 4
Dell(config)# interface range fibrechannel 0/9 - 10
Enter the keywords interface range followed by an interface type and port range. A port range must contain spaces before and after
the dash. Separate each interface type and port range with a space, comma, and space as shown in the preceding examples.
Sample Conguration
1 Congure a DCB map with PFC and ETS settings:
Dell(config)# dcb-map SAN_DCB_MAP
Dell(config-dcbx-name)# priority-group 0 bandwidth 60 pfc off
Dell(config-dcbx-name)# priority-group 1 bandwidth 20 pfc on
