Terminology
ENode End Node or FCoE node
FC Fibre Channel
FC ID A 3-byte address used by FC to identify the end points
FC Map A 3-byte prefix configured per VLAN, used to frame FCoE MAC address
FCF Fibre Channel Forwarder
FCoE Fibre Channel over Ethernet
FCoE MAC Unique MAC address used to identify an FCoE session. This is a combination of FC ID and FC Map.

Virtual fabric
Virtual fabrics (vfabric) divide a physical fabric into logical fabrics. Manage each vfabric independently. The fabric ID identifies
each vfabric. You can configure only one vfabric in F_Port mode and multiple vfabrics in NPG mode. F_Port and NPG modes are
mutually exclusive.
If you have already configured a vfabric in F_Port mode, while configuring vfabrics in NPG mode, disable F_Port mode. When
you disable F_Port mode, the existing vfabric is removed and you must configure new vfabrics in NPG mode. If you are moving
from NPG mode to F_Port mode, disable NPG mode and create the new vfabric in 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. For more information, see Fibre Channel zoning on page
420.
After configuring a vfabric ID, you can create a name, associate a VLAN to carry traffic to the vfabric, configure FCoE
parameters, configure the default zone, and activate the zoneset.
NOTE: Do not associate a VLAN that is already in use as a vfabric VLAN.
To configure a vfabric in F_Port mode:
