Command History
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
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.
To remove an FCoE map from an FC interface, enter the no fabric map-name command in Interface
conguration mode.
Related Commands
fcoe-map — creates an FCoE map which contains the parameters used in the communication between servers
and a SAN fabric.
show fcoe-map— displays the Fibre Channel and FCoE conguration parameters in FCoE maps.
fabric-id vlan
In an FCoE map, congure the association between the dedicated VLAN used to carry FCoE trac between servers and a SAN, and the
fabric where the desired storage arrays are installed.
M I/O Aggregator with the FC Flex IO module
Syntax
fabric-id fabric-num vlan vlan-id
Parameters
fabric-id fabric-num Enter a fabric ID number that is the same as the ID number of the dedicated VLAN used
to carry FCoE storage trac to the fabric specied in the FCoE map. You can enter a
fabric ID in the range 1–4094.
vlanvlan-id Enter the ID number of the dedicated VLAN used to carry FCoE storage trac between
servers and a SAN fabric and specied with the vlan command in the FCoE map.
