User's Manual

FCoE VLAN
ID of the dedicated VLAN used to transmit FCoE traffic from a
server CNA to a fabric and configured on both the server-facing IOA
and MXL switch with the FC Flex IO module port and server CNA
port.
Fabric Map
Name of the FCoE map containing the FCoE/FC configuration
parameters for the server CNA-fabric connection.
Enode WWPN
Worldwide port name of the server CNA port.
Enode WWNN
Worldwide node name of the server CNA.
FCoE MAC
Fabric-provided MAC address (FPMA). The FPMA consists of the FC-
MAP value in the FCoE map and the FC-ID provided by the fabric
after a successful FLOGI. In the FPMA, the most significant bytes are
the FC-MAP; the least significant bytes are the FC-ID.
FC-ID
FC port ID provided by the fabric.
LoginMethod
Method used by the server CNA to log in to the fabric; for example,
FLOGI or FDISC.
Secs
Number of seconds that the fabric connection is up.
State
Status of the fabric connection: logged in.
Configuring an NPIV Proxy Gateway
Prerequisite: Before you configure an NPIV proxy gateway on an IOA or MXL switch with the FC
Flex IO module, ensure the following:
• DCB is enabled by default.
• DCB (PFC and ETS) parameters are configured for converged traffic.
To configure NPG operation on an IOA and MXL switch with the FC Flex IO module, follow these
steps:
1. Enable Fibre Channel capability on the switch.
2. Create a DCB map.
3. Apply a DCB map on server-facing Ethernet ports.
4. Create an FCoE VLAN.
5. Create an FCoE map.
6. Apply an FCoE map on server-facing Ethernet ports.
7. Apply an FCoE Map on fabric-facing FC ports.
