Configuration Details
A.1 S4148U-ON as NPG (NPIV Proxy Gateway)
1. Enable DCBx system wide
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# dcbx enable
2. Enable NPG feature
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# feature fc npg
3. Configure the Ethernet interface as fibre-channel interface
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# port-group 1/1/1
c. Switch(conf-pg-1/1/1)# mode fc <16g-2x or 8g-4x> , depending on the port-group, the speed
range can be up to 32gbps.
d. Switch(conf-pg-1/1/1)# end
e. Switch#
4. Create FCoE vlan
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# int vlan 400
c. Switch(config-if-vl-400)# desc FCoE_traffic
d. Switch(config-if-vl-400)# end
e. Switch#
5. Create the vfabric. This is the storage fabric on which specific zones are attached.
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# vfabric <id>
c. Switch(config-vfabric-<id>)# vlan <vlan_id>
d. Switch(config-vfabric-<id>)# fcoe fcmap <0xefc00 – 0xefcff>
e. Switch(config-vfabric-<id>)# end
f. Switch#
6. Attach vfabric to the proper interfaces
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# int fibrechannel 1/1/1
c. Switch(config-if-fc1/1/3)# vfabric <id>
d. Switch(config-if-fc1/1/3)# exit
e. Switch(config)# int eth1/1/47
f. Switch(config-if-eth1/1/47)# vfabric <id>
g. Switch(config-if-eth1/1/47)# end
h. Switch#
7. Create class maps and service policies. Configue the policy map and applicable class map to trust
system dot1p settings. This policy map and class map indicates to trust the Class of Service (CoS) values
of the incoming packet when it hits the switch.
