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 configured 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.
Step Task Command Command Mode
1 Configure a server-facing Ethernet port or port
channel with an FCoE map.
interface {tengigabitEthernet
slot
/port | fortygigabitEthernet
slot
/port | port-channel num}
CONFIGURATION
2 Apply the FCoE/FC configuration in an FCoE map on
the Ethernet port.
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
fcoe-map map-name

3 Enable the port for FCoE transmission using the map
settings.
