128.
Enable the monitoring FIP
keepalive messages (if it is
disabled) to detect if other FCoE
devices are reachable. The
default is enabled.

Applying a DCB Map on Server-Facing Ethernet Ports
You can apply a DCB map only on a physical Ethernet interface and can apply only one DCB map per
interface.

Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-Facing FC Ports
The IOA and MXL switch with the FC Flex IO module FC ports are configured by default to operate in N
port mode. When you apply an FCoE map on a fabric-facing FC port, the FC port becomes part of the
FCoE fabric.
Each IOA and MXL switch with the FC Flex IO module 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.
