History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000 configured as an NPIV proxy
gateway.
Usage
Information
FCoE storage traffic received from servers on an S5000 NPIV proxy gateway is de-
capsulated into Fibre Channel packets and forwarded over FC links to SAN switches
in a specified fabric. You must configure a separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to
which FCoE traffic is forwarded. Any non-FCoE traffic sent on a dedicated FCoE
VLAN will be dropped.
You configure the association between a dedicated VLAN, which carries FCoE
traffic from server CNAs over the NPIV proxy gateway to a SAN fabric in which
destination storage arrays are installed, in an FCoE map by using the fabric id
vlan command.
When you apply an FCoE map to a server-facing Ethernet port, the port is
automatically configured as a tagged member of the FCoE VLAN.
For more information about VLANs and the commands to configure them, refer to
the Virtual LAN (VLAN) Commands section of the Layer 2 chapter.
Example (Single
