and Ethernet ports on an NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map allows the switch to operate as an FCoE-FC
bridge between an FC SAN and an FCoE network by providing FCoE-enabled servers and switches with
the necessary parameters to log in to a SAN fabric.
On an S5000 NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map is applied on fabric-facing FC ports and server-facing
Ethernet ports. Use the fcoe-map command to apply an FCoE map on an Ethernet port. Use the
fabric command to apply an FCoE map on an FC port.
An FCoE map consists of the following parameters: the dedicated FCoE VLAN used for storage traffic,
the destination SAN fabric (FC-MAP value), FCF priority used by a server, and the FIP keepalive (FKA)
advertisement timeout.
In each FCoE map, the fabric ID, FC-MAP value, and FCoE VLAN parameters must be unique. Use one
FCoE map to access one SAN fabric. You cannot use the same FCoE map to access different fabrics.
To remove an FCoE map from an Ethernet interface, enter the no fcoe-map map-name command in
Interface configuration mode.
