VLAN configuration procedures

Creating a VLAN interface
On Brocade 8000 CEE switches VLANs are treated as interfaces from a provisioning point of view.
By default all the CEE ports are assigned to VLAN 1 (VLAN ID equals 1). The vlan_ID value can be 1
through 3583. VLAN IDs 3584 through 4094 are internally-reserved VLAN IDs.
To create a VLAN interface, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode:
Configuring a VLAN interface to forward FCoE traffic
An FCoE Forwarder (FCF) is an FCoE device that supports FCoE VF_ports. It is the equivalent of an
FC switch. A VLAN can be made FCF capable. Only FCF-capable VLANs can carry FCoE traffic.
To configure a VLAN interface to forward FCoE traffic, perform the following steps from Privileged
EXEC mode:
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch#config t
Enter configuration commands, one
per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Specify the VLAN interface (VLAN 50 is used in this
example).
switch(config)#interface vlan 50
switch(conf-if-vl-50)#
3. Display the VLAN interface configuration. switch(conf-if-vl-50)#do show
interface vlan 50
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch#config t
Enter configuration commands, one
per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Specify the VLAN interface (VLAN 10 is used in this
example).
switch(config)#interface vlan 10
switch(conf-if-vl-10)#
3. Enable the forwarding of FCoE traffic on the VLAN
interface.
switch(conf-if-vl-10)#fcf forward
switch(conf-if-vl-10)#
4. Display the VLAN interface configuration. switch(conf-if-vl-10)#do show
interface vlan 10
