Addendum

The values for the FCoE VLAN, fabric ID and FC-MAP must be unique. Apply an FCoE map on
downstream server-facing Ethernet ports and upstream fabric-facing Fibre Channel ports.
Step Task Command Command Mode
1
Create an FCoE map which contains
parameters used in the communication
between servers and a SAN fabric.
fcoe-map map-name CONFIGURATION
2
Configure the association between the
dedicated VLAN (configured in Creating an
FCoE VLAN) and the fabric where the desired
storage arrays are installed. The fabric and
VLAN ID numbers must be the same. Fabric
and VLAN ID range: 2-4094.
For example: fabric id 10 vlan 10
fabric-id fabric-num vlan
vlan-id
FCoE MAP
3
Add a text description of the settings in the
FCoE map.
Maximum: 32 characters.
description text FCoE MAP
4
Specify the FC-MAP value used to generate a
fabric-provided MAC address, which is
required to send FCoE traffic from a server on
the FCoE VLAN to the FC fabric specified in
Step 2. You must enter a unique MAC address
prefix as the FC-MAP value for each fabric.
Range: 0EFC00–0EFCFF.
Default: None.

5
Configure the priority used by a server CNA to
select the FCF for a fabric login (FLOGI).
Range: 1-255. Default: 128.

6
Enable the monitoring FIP keep-alive
messages (if it is disabled) to detect if other
FCoE devices are reachable. Default: FIP keep-
alive monitoring is enabled.

7
Configure the time interval (in seconds) used
to transmit FIP keepalive advertisements.
Range: 8-90 seconds. Default: 8 seconds.

Applying an FCoE map on server-facing Ethernet ports
You can apply multiple FCoE maps on an Ethernet port or port channel. When you apply an FCoE map on
a server-facing port or port channel:
• The port is configured to operate in hybrid mode (accept both tagged and untagged VLAN frames).
• The associated FCoE VLAN is enabled on the port or port channel.
When you enable a server-facing Ethernet port, the servers respond to the FIP advertisements by
performing FLOGIs on upstream virtualized FCF ports. The NPG forwards the FLOGIs as fabric discovery
(FDISC) messages to a SAN switch.
