The FC-MAP value is used to generate the fabric-provided MAC address (FP-MAC). The FPMA is used
by servers to transmit FCoE traffic to the fabric. An FC-MAP can be associated with only one FCoE
VLAN and vice versa.
In an FCoE map, the FC-MAP value, fabric ID, and FCoE VLAN parameters must be unique.
To remove a configured FC-MAP value from an FCoE map, enter the no fc-map command.

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 PMUX 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.
On an M I/O Aggregator with the PMUX module NPIV proxy gateway, you cannot apply an FCoE map is
applied on fabric-facing FC ports and server-facing 10–Gigabit Ethernet ports.
An FCoE map consists of the following parameters: the dedicated FCoE VLAN used for storage traffic,
the destination SAN fabric (FC-MAP value), FCF priority used by a server, and the FIP keepalive (FKA)
advertisement timeout.
