Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex
IO module.
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 the switch with the FC Flex IO module 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 a switch with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway, you cannot apply an FCoE map is applied on
fabric-facing FC ports and server-facing 10–Gigabit Ethernet ports.
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.
