1
Create an FCoE map that contains parameters used in the
communication between servers and a SAN fabric.
fcoe-map map-name
CONFIGURATION
2
Congure 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.

Specify the FC-MAP value used to generate a fabric-
provided MAC address, which is required to send FCoE
trac from a server on the FCoE VLAN to the FC fabric
specied in Step 2. Enter a unique MAC address prex as
the FC-MAP value for each fabric.
Range: 0EFC00–0EFCFF.
Default: None.

Congure 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 keep-alive messages (if it is
disabled) to detect if other FCoE devices are reachable.
Default: FIP keep-alive monitoring is enabled.

Congure 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 congured 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 fabric discovery (FDISC) messages to a SAN switch.
