Command History
Usage Guidelines By default, 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces negotiate FCoE capability with the adapter. You can override
the negotiation result by force-enabling the FCoE capability.
When you set the FCoE parameter to auto, the interface negotiates the setting with the connected
adapter. FCoE will not be enabled on the interface if the adapter does not support FCoE. If the mode is
set to on, the FCoE negotiation result is ignored and FCoE is set to enabled on the interface.
Examples This example shows how to configure an interface to force-enable the FCoE mode:
switch)# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
switch(config-if)# fcoe mode on
This example shows how to disable FCoE for an Ethernet interface:
switch)# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
switch(config-if)# no fcoe mode
