Usage Information
An FCoE map is a template used to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged fabric. An FCoE map
virtualizes the upstream FC ports on an M I/O Aggregator NPIV proxy gateway to appear to downstream
server CNA ports as FCoE forwarder (FCF) ports on an FCoE network. When applied to FC and Ethernet
ports on an NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map allows the switch to operate as an FCoE-FC bridge between
an FC SAN and an FCoE network. It provides necessary parameters to FCoE-enabled servers and switches
to log in to a SAN fabric. Use the fcoe-map command to create an FCoE map.
On an M I/O Aggregator NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map is applied on fabric-facing FC ports and server-
facing Ethernet ports. Use the fabric command to apply an FCoE map on an FC port. Use the fcoe-
map command to apply an FCoE map on an Ethernet port.
After you apply an FCoE map on an FC interface, when the port is enabled (no shutdown), the NPIV
proxy gateway starts sending FIP multicast advertisements on behalf of the FC port to downstream servers
to advertise the availability of a new FCF port on the FCoE VLAN.
To remove an FCoE map from an FC interface, enter the no fabric map-name command in Interface
conguration mode.
