Usage

Information

FCoE storage traffic received from servers on an M I/O Aggregator with the PMUX module NPIV proxy

gateway is de-capsulated into Fibre Channel packets and forwarded over FC links to SAN switches in a

specified fabric. You must configure a separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to which FCoE traffic is

forwarded. Any non-FCoE traffic sent on a dedicated FCoE VLAN will be dropped.

You configure the association between a dedicated VLAN, which carries FCoE traffic from server CNAs

over the NPIV proxy gateway to a SAN fabric in which destination storage arrays are installed, in an FCoE

map by using the fabric id vlan command.

When you apply an FCoE map to a server-facing Ethernet port, the port is automatically configured as a

tagged member of the FCoE VLAN.

For more information about VLANs and the commands to configure them, refer to the Virtual LAN

(VLAN) Commands section.

Information

FIP keepalive (FKA) messaging is used to detect if other FCoE devices are reachable.

To remove FIP keepalive monitoring from an FCoE map, enter the no keepalive command.
