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 configured 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 fabric
discovery (FDISC) messages to a SAN switch.

Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-Facing FC Ports
The IOA and MXL switch with the FC Flex IO module FC ports are configured by default to
operate in N port mode. When you apply an FCoE map on a fabric-facing FC port, the FC port
becomes part of the FCoE fabric.
Each IOA and MXL switch with the FC Flex IO module 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.
