fcoe-map
Create an FCoE map which contains the parameters used to congure the links between server CNAs and a SAN fabric. Apply the
FCoE map on a server-facing Ethernet port.

Usage Information
An FCoE map is a template used to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged fabric. An FCoE map is
used to virtualize upstream FC ports on an S5000 NPIV proxy gateway so that they appear to downstream
server CNA ports as FCoE forwarder (FCF) ports on an FCoE network. When applied to FC 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 trac, 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 dierent fabrics.
To remove an FCoE map from an Ethernet interface, enter the no fcoe-map map-name command in
Interface conguration mode.
