Installation guide

To configure a Brocade 8000 FCoE Switch:

1. Login to switch and enter FCoE command shell.

BR8K-21 login: admin

Password: ******

BR8K-21:admin> cmsh Use cmsh to enter FCoE command mode

2. Enter the configuration mode.

BR8K-21-cmsh# config t Use configure terminal to enter config mode

3. Create and configure the VLAN interface for FCoE.

BR8K-21-cmsh(config)# int vlan 3 Create VLAN 3

BR8K-21:admin(conf-if-vl-3)# fcf forward Enable FCoE traffic on VLAN 3

BR8K-21:admin(conf-if-vl-3)# exit Exit VLAN 3 I/F

4. Create the VLAN classifier rules. These are used to enable FCoE and FIP protocols.

BR8K-21-cmsh(config)# vlan classifier rule 1 proto fcoe encap ethv2

BR8K-21-cmsh(config)# vlan classifier rule 2 proto fip encap ethv2

5. Create the VLAN classifier group and add classifier rules. These are used to enable FCoE and FIP protocols.

BR8K-21-cmsh(config)# vlan classifier group 1 add rule 1

BR8K-21-cmsh(config)# vlan classifier group 1 add rule 2

6. Create and configure CEE-MAP. CEE Map is used to configure Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) and

Priority Flow Control (PFC).

BR8K-21-cmsh(config)# cee-map demo

BR8K-21-cmsh(conf-ceemap)# priority-group-table 1 weight 50 pfc

BR8K-21-cmsh(conf-ceemap)# priority-group-table 2 weight 50

NOTE:

 pfc enables priority flow control for this priority group, which will be our FCoE priority group.

 PFC may not be supported for non-FCoE traffic, depending on the vendor

 weight defines the percentage of bandwidth this traffic will get
