Deployment Guide
Applying an FCoE Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports
You can apply multiple FCoE maps on an Ethernet port or port channel. When you apply an FCoE map on a server-facing port or port
channel:
• The port is congured to operate in hybrid mode (accept both tagged and untagged VLAN frames).
• The associated FCoE VLAN is enabled on the port or port channel.
When you enable a server-facing Ethernet port, the servers respond to the FIP advertisements by performing FLOGIs on upstream
virtualized FCF ports. The NPG forwards the FLOGIs as FDISC messages to a SAN switch.
1 Congure a server-facing Ethernet port or port channel with an FCoE map.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface {tengigabitEthernet slot/port | port-channel num}
2 Apply the FCoE/FC conguration in an FCoE map on the Ethernet port. Repeat this step to apply an FCoE map to more than one
port.

Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-facing FC Ports
The Aggregator, with the FC ports, are congured by default to operate in N port mode to connect to an F port on an FC switch in a fabric.
You can apply only one FCoE map on an FC port.
When you apply an FCoE map on a fabric-facing FC port, the FC port becomes part of the FCoE fabric, whose settings in the FCoE map
are congured on the port and exported to downstream server CNA ports.
Each Aggregator, with the FC port, is associated with an Ethernet MAC address (FCF MAC address). When you enable a fabric-facing FC
port, the FCoE map applied to the port starts sending FIP multicast advertisements using the parameters in the FCoE map over server-
facing Ethernet ports. A server sees the FC port, with its applied FCoE map, as an FCF port.
