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.
Each Aggregator, with the FC port, is associated with an Ethernet MAC address (FCF MAC address). When you enable a fabric-
facing FC port, the FCoE map applied to the port starts sending FIP multicast advertisements using the parameters in the FCoE
map over server-facing Ethernet ports. A server sees the FC port, with its applied FCoE map, as an FCF port.

Apply the FCoE and FC fabric congurations in an FCoE
map to the port. Repeat this step to apply an FCoE map to
more than one FC port, for example:
Dell# interface fi 0/9
Dell(config-if-fc-0/9)# fabric

Important Points to Remember
You can apply a DCB or FCoE map to a range of Ethernet or Fibre Channel interfaces by using the interface range command;
for example:
Dell(config)# interface range tengigabitEthernet 1/12 - 23 , tengigabitEthernet 2/24 - 35
Dell(config)# interface range fibrechannel 0/0 - 3 , fibrechannel 0/8 - 11
Enter the keywords interface range followed by an interface type and port range. A port range must contain spaces before
and after the dash. Separate each interface type and port range with a space, comma, and space as shown in the preceding
examples.
Sample Conguration
1. Congure a DCB map with PFC and ETS settings:
Dell(config)# dcb-map SAN_DCB_MAP
Dell(config-dcbx-name)# priority-group 0 bandwidth 60 pfc off
Dell(config-dcbx-name)# priority-group 1 bandwidth 20 pfc on
Dell(config-dcbx-name)# priority-group 2 bandwidth 20 pfc on
Dell(config-dcbx-name)# priority-group 4 strict-priority pfc off
