Fibre channel

Fibre channel fabric port (F_Port) is the switch port that connects the Fibre Channel (FC) fabric to a node. S4148U-ON switches support

F_Port.

Enable Fibre channel F_Port mode globally using the feature fc domain-ID domain-ID command in CONFIGURATION mode.

Enable Fibre channel F_Port mode

OS10(config)# feature fc domain-id 100

Virtual fabric

Virtual fabrics (vfabric) divide a physical fabric into logical fabrics.

Manage each vfabric independently. The fabric ID identies each vfabric. You can congure only one vfabric in the F_Port mode.

Zoning allows you to increase network security by partitioning the devices connected to the vfabric into subsets. Partitioning restricts

unnecessary interactions between the members of vfabric. See also Fibre Channel zoning.

After conguring a vfabric ID, you can create a name, associate a VLAN to carry trac to the vfabric, congure FC map, congure the

default zone, and activate the zoneset.

NOTE

: Do not associate a VLAN that is already in use, as a vfabric VLAN.

1 Congure a vfabric using the vfabric fabric-ID command in CONFIGURATION mode. The switch enters vfabric

CONFIGURATION mode. Enter the following commands.

2 Associate a VLAN ID to the vfabric with the vlan vlan-ID command.

3 Add an FC map with the fcoe fcmap fabric-map command.

4 Activate a zoneset using the zoneset activate zoneset-name command.

5 Allow access to all logged-in members in the absence of active zoneset conguration using the zone default-zone permit

command. The logged-in members are the Fibre channel nodes that are successfully logged into the FC fabric, identied by the

vfabric.

6 (Optional) Add a name to the vfabric using the name vfabric-name command.

Congure vfabric

OS10(config)# vfabric 100

OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# name 100

OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# vlan 1023

OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# fcoe fcmap 0xEFC64

OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# zoneset activate set

OS10(conf-vfabric-100)# zone default-zone permit
