Parameters
interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. This interface can only be
a Layer 2 Ethernet interface or Layer 2 aggregate interface.
mac mac-address: Specifies the bound peer FCoE MAC address, in the format of XXXX-XXXX-XXXX and
six bytes in length.
Usage guidelines
To make a VFC interface work, bind it to a physical Ethernet interface. The VFC interface sends and
receives packets through the Ethernet interface bound to it.
To use one physical link to carry multiple VFC interfaces, you must bind these VFC interfaces to different
peer FCoE MAC addresses, but you can bind them to one Ethernet interface. The FCoE MAC address
identifies the device that communicates with a VFC interface. For a point-to-multipoint network, the FCoE
MAC address must be bound. For a point-to-point network, the FCoE MAC address may not be bound.
You can use the display fcoe command to display the FCoE MAC address of a switch. You can display
the FCoE MAC address of an ENode through some software or the NMS.
A VFC interface can be bound to only one Ethernet interface and to only one FCoE MAC address.
An Ethernet interface can be bound to multiple VFC interfaces, but an FCoE MAC address can be bound
to only one VFC interface.
The Layer 2 Ethernet interface to be bound must be FCoE capable, or the binding will fail. All member
ports of a Layer 2 aggregate interface to be bound must be FCoE capable, or the binding will fail. Also
make sure new member ports of a bound Layer 2 aggregate interface are FCoE capable.
If you bind one VFC interface to a Layer 2 aggregate interface and another VFC interface to a Layer 2
Ethernet interface that is a member port of the Layer 2 aggregate interface, the binding to the Layer 2
aggregate interface does not take effect.
Examples
# Bind interface VFC 4 to interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 and FCoE MAC address
000c-2999-eacd.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vfc 4
[sysname-Vfc4] bind interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1 mac 000c-2999-eacd
