interface {tengigabitEthernet slot/port | fortygigabitEthernet slot/port}
NOTE: You cannot apply a DCB map on a port channel. However, you can apply a DCB map on
the ports that are members of the port channel.
2. Apply the DCB map on an Ethernet port or port channel.
INTERFACE mode
dcb-map name
The port is configured with the PFC and ETS settings in the DCB map.
For example:
Dell# interface tengigabitEthernet 0/0
Dell(config-if-te-0/0)# dcb-map SAN_DCB1
To apply a DCB map to more than one port or port channel, repeat this step.
Creating an FCoE VLAN
Create a dedicated VLAN to send and receive Fibre Channel traffic over FCoE links between servers and a
fabric over an NPG.
The NPG receives FCoE traffic and forwards de-capsulated FC frames over FC links to SAN switches in a
specified fabric.
Create the dedicated VLAN for FCoE traffic.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface vlan vlan-id
NOTE: VLAN 1002 is commonly used to transmit FCoE traffic.
When you apply an FCoE map to an Ethernet port, the port automatically configures as a tagged member
of the FCoE VLAN. For more information, refer to Applying a DCB Map on Server-Facing Ethernet Ports.
FCoE Maps
To identify the SAN fabric to which FCoE storage traffic is sent, use an FCoE map.
Using an FCoE map, an NPG operates as an FCoE-FC bridge between an FC SAN and FCoE network by
providing FCoE-enabled servers and switches with the necessary parameters to log in to a SAN fabric.
An FCoE map applies the following parameters on server-facing Ethernet and fabric-facing FC ports:
• The dedicated FCoE VLAN used to transport FCoE storage traffic.
• The FC-MAP value used to generate a fabric-provided MAC address.
• The association between the FCoE VLAN ID and FC fabric ID where the desired storage arrays are
installed. Each Fibre Channel fabric serves as an isolated SAN topology within the same physical
network.
• A server uses the priority to select an upstream FCoE forwarder (FCF priority).
• FIP keepalive (FKA) advertisement timeout.
