description (for FCoE maps)
In an FCoE map, add a text description of the FCoE and FC parameters used to transmit storage traffic over an M I/O
Aggregator with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway in a converged fabric.

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.
