Administrator Guide

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
configuration mode.

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 configuration parameters in FCoE maps.
fabric-id vlan
In an FCoE map, configure the association between the dedicated VLAN used to carry FCoE traffic between servers and a SAN,
and the fabric where the desired storage arrays are installed.

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 traffic to the fabric specified in the FCoE map. You can
enter a fabric ID in the range 1–4094.
vlan vlan-id Enter the ID number of the dedicated VLAN used to carry FCoE storage traffic
between servers and a SAN fabric and specified with the vlan command in the
FCoE map.
Defaults None
Command Modes FCOE MAP
Supported Modes Programmable-Mux (PMUX)

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
In the fabric-id vlan command, the fabric and VLAN ID numbers must be the same.
In each FCoE map, the fabric ID, FC-MAP value, and FCoE VLAN parameters must be unique.
To remove a fabric-VLAN association from an FCoE map, enter the no fabric-id vlan command.
You must first create a VLAN and then specify the configured VLAN ID in the fabric-id vlan
command. Otherwise, the following error message is displayed.
FTOS(conf-fcoe-f)#fabric-id 10 vlan 10 % Error: Vlan 10 does not exist
