Usage Information
FCoE storage trac received from servers on an M I/O Aggregator with the PMUX module NPIV proxy gateway is
de-capsulated into Fibre Channel packets and forwarded over FC links to SAN switches in a specied fabric. You
must congure a separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to which FCoE trac is forwarded. Any non-FCoE trac
sent on a dedicated FCoE VLAN will be dropped.
You congure the association between a dedicated VLAN, which carries FCoE trac from server CNAs over the
NPIV proxy gateway to a SAN fabric in which destination storage arrays are installed, in an FCoE map by using the
fabric id vlan command.
When you apply an FCoE map to a server-facing Ethernet port, the port is automatically congured as a tagged
member of the FCoE VLAN.
For more information about VLANs and the commands to congure them, refer to the Virtual LAN (VLAN)
Commands section.

Version Description
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO
module.
Usage Information
FIP keepalive (FKA) messaging is used to detect if other FCoE devices are reachable.
To remove FIP keepalive monitoring from an FCoE map, enter the no keepalive command.
