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.
1 Configure 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 configuration 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.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-Facing FC
Ports
By default, FC ports are configured 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.
