Apply the FCoE/FC configuration in an FCoE
map on the Ethernet port. Repeat this step to
apply an FCoE map to more than one port, for

Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-facing FC Ports
The MXL 10/40GbE Switch and M I/O Aggregator, with the FC Flex IO module FC ports, are configured 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 configured on the port and exported to downstream server CNA
ports.
Each MXL 10/40GbE Switch and M I/O Aggregator, 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.
