Applying an FCoE Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports
You can apply multiple FCoE maps on an Ethernet port or port channel. When you apply an FCoE map on a server-facing port or
port channel:
• The port is congured to operate in hybrid mode (accept both tagged and untagged VLAN frames).
• The associated FCoE VLAN is enabled on the port or port channel.
When you enable a server-facing Ethernet port, the servers respond to the FIP advertisements by performing FLOGIs on upstream
virtualized FCF ports. The NPG forwards the FLOGIs as FDISC messages to a SAN switch.

Apply the FCoE/FC conguration in an FCoE map on the
Ethernet port. Repeat this step to apply an FCoE map to
more than one port, for example:

Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-facing FC Ports
The Aggregator, with the FC ports, are congured by default to operate in N port mode to connect to an F port on an FC switch in a
fabric. You can apply only one FCoE map on an FC port.
When you apply an FCoE map on a fabric-facing FC port, the FC port becomes part of the FCoE fabric, whose settings in the FCoE
map are congured on the port and exported to downstream server CNA ports.
