Version Description

IO module.
Usage Information
An FCoE map is a template used to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged fabric. An FCoE map is
used to virtualize upstream FC ports on an M I/O Aggregator with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy
gateway so that they 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 by providing FCoE-enabled
servers and switches with the necessary parameters to log in to a SAN fabric. Use the fcoe-map
command to create an FCoE map.
On an M I/O Aggregator with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway, you cannot apply an FCoE map
on fabric-facing FC ports and server-facing Ethernet ports.
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
in order to advertise the availability of a new FCF port on the FCoE VLAN.
