Applying an FCoE Map on Server-Facing Ethernet Ports
You can apply multiple FCoE maps on an Ethernet port or port channel.
When you apply an FCoE map on a server-facing port or port channel:
• The port is congured to operate in hybrid mode (accept both tagged and untagged VLAN frames).
• The associated FCoE VLAN is enabled on the port or port channel.
When you enable a server-facing Ethernet port, the servers respond to the FIP advertisements by performing FLOGIs on upstream
virtualized FCF ports. The NPG forwards the FLOGIs as fabric discovery (FDISC) messages to a SAN switch.
1. Congure a server-facing Ethernet port or port channel with an FCoE map.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface {tengigabitEthernet slot/port | fortygigabitEthernet slot/port | port-channel
num}
2. Apply the FCoE/FC conguration in an FCoE map on the Ethernet port.
INTERFACE mode or INTERFACE PORT_CHANNEL mode
fcoe-map map-name
Repeat this step to apply an FCoE map to more than one port.
For example:
Dell# interface tengigabitEthernet 0/0
Dell(config-if-te-0/0)# fcoe-map SAN_FABRIC_A
Dell# interface port-channel 3
Dell(config-if-po-3)# fcoe-map SAN_FABRIC_A
Dell# interface fortygigabitEthernet 0/48
Dell(config-if-fo-0/0)# fcoe-map SAN_FABRIC_A
3. Enable the port for FCoE transmission using the map settings.

Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-Facing FC Ports
By default, FC ports are congured to operate in N Port mode to connect to an F port on an FC switch in a fabric.
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 congured on the port and exported to downstream server CNA ports.
Each FC port is associated with an Ethernet MAC address (FCF MAC address). When you enable a fabric-facing FC port, the FCoE
map applied to 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.
1. Congure a fabric-facing FC port.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface fibrechannel slot/ port
For information about how to congure FC port settings, refer to Fibre Channel Interface.
2. Apply the FCoE and FC fabric congurations in an FCoE map to the port.
