5 Dell EMC Networking – Deploying Native FC and FCoE on single S4148U-ON | 1.0
A S4148-ON Configuration Details
Fibre-Channel Configuration
1. Enable FC feature and a domain ID for FPort
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# dcbx enable
c. Switch(config)# feature fc <domain-id>
2. 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>
d. Switch(conf-pg-1/1/1)# end
e. Switch#
3. Create FCoE vlan
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# int vlan 1002 – it’s recommended to use or reserve 1002 vland id or higher for
FC/FCoE traffic in order to differentiate between storage and non-storage traffic.
c. Switch(config-if-vl-1002)# description FC_FCoE_traffic
d. Switch(config-f-vl-1002)# end
e. Switch#
4. Create the vfabric. This is the storage fabric on which specific zones are attached. In this case, a default
zone is created and anyone is permitted to connect to this zone.
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# vfabric <id>
c. Switch(config-vfabric-<id>)# vlan 1002
d. Switch(config-vfabric-<id>)# fcoe fcmap <0xefc00 – 0xefcff>
e. Switch(config-vfabric-<id>)# zone default-zone permit
Configure allow or deny default-zone. No specific zone is being configured. To configure a
specific zone, use “zoneset” command
f. Switch(config-vfabric-<id>)# end
g. Switch#
5. Attach vfabric to the proper interfaces
a. Switch# conf t
b. Switch(config)# int range fibrechannel 1/1/3-1/1/5
c. Switch(config-range-fc1/1/3-1/1/5)# vfabric 2
d. Switch(config-range-fc1/1/3-1/1/5)# end
e. Switch#
