1
Create an FCoE map that contains parameters
used in the communication between servers
and a SAN fabric.
fcoe-map map-name
CONFIGURATION
2
Configure the association between the
dedicated VLAN and the fabric where the
desired storage arrays are installed. The fabric
and VLAN ID numbers must be the same.
Fabric and VLAN ID range: 2–4094.
For example: fabric id 10 vlan 10
fabric-id
fabric-num
vlan vlan-id

3
Add a text description of the settings in the
FCoE map.
Maximum: 32 characters.

FCoE MAP
4
Specify the FC-MAP value used to generate a
fabric-provided MAC address, which is
required to send FCoE traffic from a server on
the FCoE VLAN to the FC fabric specified in
Step 2. Enter a unique MAC address prefix as
the FC-MAP value for each fabric.
Range: 0EFC00–0EFCFF.
Default: None.

Configure the priority used by a server CNA to
select the FCF for a fabric login (FLOGI).
Range: 1–255. Default: 128.

6
Enable the monitoring FIP keepalive messages
(if it is disabled) to detect if other FCoE devices
are reachable. Default: FIP keepalive
monitoring is enabled.

Configure the time interval (in seconds) used
to transmit FIP keepalive advertisements.
Range: 8–90 seconds. Default: 8 seconds.

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 FDISC messages
to a SAN switch.
