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
FCoE-enabled servers and switches with the necessary parameters to log in to a SAN fabric.
On an S5000 NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map is applied on fabric-facing FC ports and server-
facing Ethernet ports. Use the fcoe-map command to apply an FCoE map on an Ethernet port.
Use the fabric command to apply an FCoE map on an FC port.
An FCoE map consists of the following parameters: the dedicated FCoE VLAN used for storage
traffic, the destination SAN fabric (FC-MAP value), FCF priority used by a server, and the FIP
keepalive (FKA) advertisement timeout.
In each FCoE map, the fabric ID, FC-MAP value, and FCoE VLAN parameters must be unique.
Use one FCoE map to access one SAN fabric. You cannot use the same FCoE map to access
different fabrics.
To remove an FCoE map from an Ethernet interface, enter the no fcoe-map map-name
command in Interface configuration mode.
