Users Guide
When a Fibre Channel port is congured to operate as an NPIV proxy gateway:
• When you shut down the port (shutdown), all FCoE virtual links associated with the port are removed.
• When you bring up the port (no shutdown), the Fibre Channel link with a fabric is brought up, the FC
port logs in to the principal switch, and the fabric starts sending FIP multicast advertisements over
downstream 10GbE Ethernet ports. The worldwide name (WWN) received from the principal switch is
used as the fabric name in FIP multicast advertisements.
You can apply only one FCoE map on an FC port. When you apply an FCoE map on a fabric-facing FC port,
the FC port becomes part of the FCoE fabric, whose settings in the FCoE map are congured on the port
and exported to downstream server CNA ports. When you enable a fabric-facing FC port, the FCoE map
applied on 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.
