Usage Information
An FCoE map is a template used to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged fabric. An FCoE map virtualizes
the upstream FC ports on the switch NPIV proxy gateway to 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. It
provides necessary parameters to FCoE-enabled servers and switches to log in to a SAN fabric. Use the fcoe-
map command to create an FCoE map.
On the switch NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map is applied on fabric-facing FC ports and server-facing Ethernet
ports. Use the fabric command to apply an FCoE map on an FC port. Use the fcoe-map command to apply an
FCoE map on an Ethernet port.
After you apply an FCoE map on an FC interface, when the port is enabled (no shutdown), the NPIV proxy
gateway starts sending FIP multicast advertisements on behalf of the FC port to downstream servers to advertise
the availability of a new FCF port on the FCoE VLAN.
To remove an FCoE map from an FC interface, enter the no fabric map-name command in Interface
conguration mode.
