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 an S5000 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
