Usage
Information
The FCF priority you assign to the Switch with the FC Flex IO module is used by server CNAs to select an
upstream FCF to use for a fabric login (FLOGI).
To remove a configured FCF priority from an FCoE map, enter the no fcf-priority command.

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.
fc-map
In an FCoE map, configure the FCoE mapped address prefix (FC-MAP) value which is used to identify FCoE traffic transmitted
on the FCoE VLAN for the specified fabric.
Syntax
fc—map fc-map-value
Parameters
fc-map-value Enter the unique MAC address prefix used by a SAN fabric.
The range of FC-MAP values is from 0EFC00 to 0EFCFF.
Defaults None
Command Modes FCoE MAP
Supported Modes Full–Switch

History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.6(0.0) Supported on the FN 2210S Aggregator.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex
IO module.
Usage
Information
The FC-MAP value you enter must match the FC-MAP value used by an FC switch or FCoE forwarder
(FCF) in the fabric. An FCF switch accepts only FCoE traffic that uses the correct FC-MAP value.
The FC-MAP value is used to generate the fabric-provided MAC address (FP-MAC). The FPMA is used
by servers to transmit FCoE traffic to the fabric. An FC-MAP can be associated with only one FCoE
VLAN and vice versa.
In an FCoE map, the FC-MAP value, fabric ID, and FCoE VLAN parameters must be unique.
To remove a configured FC-MAP value from an FCoE map, enter the no fc-map command.
