Specify the FC-MAP value used to generate a fabric-
provided MAC address, which is required to send FCoE
trac from a server on the FCoE VLAN to the FC fabric
specied in Step 2. Enter a unique MAC address prex as
the FC-MAP value for each fabric.
Range: 0EFC00–0EFCFF.
Default: None.

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.
