Users Guide

On an S5000 NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map is applied on fabric-facing FC ports and server-facing
Ethernet ports. Use the fabric command to apply an FCoE map on an FC port. Use the fcoe-map
command to apply an FCoE map on an Ethernet port.
After you apply an FCoE map on an FC interface, when the port is enabled (no shutdown), the NPIV
proxy gateway starts sending FIP multicast advertisements on behalf of the FC port to downstream
servers in order to advertise the availability of a new FCF port on the FCoE VLAN.
To remove an FCoE map from an FC interface, enter the no fabric map-name command in Interface
configuration mode.

fabric-id vlan
In an FCoE map, configure the association between the dedicated VLAN used to carry FCoE traffic between servers and a SAN,
and the fabric where the desired storage arrays are installed.

Parameters
fabric-id fabric-
num
Enter a fabric ID number that is the same as the ID number of the dedicated VLAN
used to carry FCoE storage traffic to the fabric specified in the FCoE map.
vlan vlan-id Enter the ID number of the dedicated VLAN used to carry FCoE storage traffic
between servers and a SAN fabric and specified with the vlan command in the
FCoE map.

History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
Usage
Information
In the fabric-id vlan command, the fabric and VLAN ID numbers must be the same.
In each FCoE map, the fabric ID, FC-MAP value, and FCoE VLAN parameters must be unique.
To remove a fabric-VLAN association from an FCoE map, enter the no fabric-id vlan command.
