module.
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 M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO module
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
