Reference Guide

Zoning allows you to increase network security by partitioning the devices connected to the vfabric into subsets. Partitioning restricts
unnecessary interactions between the members of vfabric. See also Fibre Channel zoning.
After conguring a vfabric ID, you can create a name, associate a VLAN to carry trac to the vfabric, congure FCoE parameters,
congure the default zone, and activate the zoneset.
NOTE: Do not associate a VLAN that is already in use, as a vfabric VLAN.
Congure vfabric in F_Port mode
1 Congure a vfabric using the vfabric fabric-ID command in CONFIGURATION mode. The switch enters vfabric
CONFIGURATION mode. Enter the following commands.
2 Associate a VLAN ID to the vfabric with the vlan vlan-ID command.
3 Add an FC map with the fcoe fcmap fc-map command.
4 Activate a zoneset using the zoneset activate zoneset-name command.
5 Allow access to all logged-in members in the absence of active zoneset conguration using the zone default-zone permit
command. The logged-in members are the Fibre channel nodes that are successfully logged into the FC fabric, identied by the
vfabric.
6 (Optional) Add a name to the vfabric using the name vfabric-name command.
7 Apply the vfabric to FC interfaces using the vfabric fabric-ID command in FC INTERFACE mode.
Example conguration of vfabric in F_Port mode
OS10(config)# vfabric 100
OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# name 100
OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# vlan 1023
OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# fcoe fcmap 0xEFC64
OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# zoneset activate set
OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# zone default-zone permit
OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# exit
OS10(config)# interface fibrechannel 1/1/1
