HP Intelligent Management Center v7.0 VAN Fabric Manager Administrator Guide

Viewing the VFC interface list
The VFC interfaces of a VSAN allow VSAN traffic to pass.
HP recommends synchronizing FCoE switches before you view the VFC interface list.
To view the VFC interface list:
1. In the VSAN list, click the target VSAN name.
VFC interface list contents
• Status—State of the VFC interface, five states are available:
◦ Unmanaged—IMC does not manage the interface.
◦ Unknown—IMC cannot obtain the state of the interface.
◦ Disabled—The interface is disabled.
◦ Up—The interface is operating.
◦ Down—The interface is enabled, but the link is down.
• Port Name—Type and number of the interface.
• Link Type—The VFC interface can work only as a trunk port.
• Port WWN—Manufacturer-initialized WWN of the interface.
• Operation Mode—Mode of the interface. Options are E mode and F mode. Usually an
E mode interface connects an E mode interface on another FCoE switch. An F mode
interface connects a server or storage device.
• Tagging Mode—Tagging mode that determines which VSAN to take effect on the ends
of the link and determines the VSAN mode. Because VFC interfaces only can work as
trunk ports, tagging mode does not affect VFC interfaces.
• Speed (bps)—Transmission rate of the interface. This field displays a specific value or
Auto. Autoindicates that the interface negotiates the transmission rate with the opposite
interface.
• Device Name—Name of the switch in the form of device label (IP address).
