Nexus5010(config-if-range)# interface vfc 1-20

Nexus5010(config-if-range)# exit

This command allows the port to access the FCoE VLAN (VLAN 200 in this example). For

non-FCoE ports, you can omit the FCoE VLAN from this command; however, both FCoE and

non-FCoE ports might require access to other VLANs.

4. Create a new VSAN that includes the FC and VFC ports.

By default, all ports are in VSAN 1. HP recommends that you use a different VSAN for SAN

connectivity. In this example, VSAN 2 is created and includes FC ports 2/1 through 2/8 and

VFC ports 1 through 20.

NOTE: VFC ports must be FCoE ports. FC ports cannot be VFC ports.

Nexus5010(config-vsan-db)# vsan 2 interface fc2/1-8

Nexus5010(config-vsan-db)# vsan 2 interface vfc 1-20

5. Associate the VLAN with the VSAN.

In this example, VLAN 200 is associated with VSAN 2.

Nexus5010# configure terminal

Nexus5010(config)# vlan 200

Nexus5010(config-vlan)# fcoe vsan 2

Nexus5010(config-vlan)# exit

Nexus5010(config)# exit

Nexus5010# show vlan fcoe

6. Bind each VFC port to a unique Ethernet port by issuing the following commands on each

port:

interface vfc n

bind interface ethernet slot/port

exit

NOTE: Depending on your switch, up to 52 VFC ports may be available.

In Example 1 “Creating and binding consecutive VFC ports”, VFC ports 1 through 8 are

created and are bound to Ethernet ports 1/1 through 1/8, respectively. Example 2 “Creating

and binding nonconsecutive VFC ports” shows a more complex configuration in which the

VFC ports are not sequential.
