Router(config-vlan)#
The next step is to enable Fibre Channel Forwarding (FCF) where Example 11-4 shows the
ISCLI command fcf enable run where on completion FCoE connections are established.

This completes the FCF component. To check our configuration is correct we can look at the
FCoE database where the port world wide names (PWWN) can be seen and so used for
zoning. Example 11-5 shows the output of the ISCLI show fcoe database command where
connections are established between the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node on ports
INTA3+4 and the Compute Node 11 in bay 11 has FCoE configured and also established a
connection from port INTA11.
Example 11-5 Checking the FCoE database
Router(config)#show fcoe database

We can also confirm connectivity from IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node by reviewing
the ‘System Details’ option from the administration GUI. Figure 11-13 on page 452 shows
Canister 1 where 10Gb Ethernet port is active detailing the Port World Wide Name (PWWN)
or WWPN in screen shots below.
