History
Version 9.3.0.0 Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE
Switch with the PMUX module configured as an NPIV proxy
gateway.
Usage
Information
FCoE storage traffic received from servers on an M I/O Aggregator and MXL
10/40GbE Switch 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) Commandssection of theLayer 2 chapter.
