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 configured as an NPIV proxy gateway.
Usage
Information
FCoE storage traffic received from servers on a switch with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway
is de-capsulated into Fibre Channel packets and forwarded over FC links to SAN switches in a specified
fabric. You must configure a separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to which FCoE traffic is forwarded. Any
non-FCoE traffic sent on a dedicated FCoE VLAN will be dropped.
You configure the association between a dedicated VLAN, which carries FCoE traffic from server CNAs
over the NPIV proxy gateway to a SAN fabric in which destination storage arrays are installed, in an FCoE
map by using the fabric id vlan command.
When you apply an FCoE map to a server-facing Ethernet port, the port is automatically configured as a
tagged member of the FCoE VLAN.
For more information about VLANs and the commands to configure them, refer to the Virtual LAN
(VLAN) Commands section of the Layer 2 chapter.
Example (Single
Range)
