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 and MXL 10/40GbE Switch 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 and MXL 10/40GbE Switch 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
