o Then using the WWPN just discovered, you can find out the MAC address of the FCoE port, enter:

o Do the same for the second FCoE port.
Configuring VFC interfaces
Once you have the MAC address of your FCoE ports, you can define the virtual Fibre Channel interfaces on the two
upstream switches. Note that For each Blade server, one vfc interface with MAC Binding must be defined because Virtual
Connect is running in FIP snooping mode.
With HP 5900 switches
Create two Virtual Fibre Channel interfaces, one on each 5900 switch corresponding to each FCoE adapter and bind
each vfc with the MAC address discovered in the previous section:
o On the first 5900: the vfc interface is bound to the first FCoE MAC address:
5900-1 # interface vfc50
5900-1 # bind interface Bridge-Aggregation 20 mac 0017-a477-bc46
Note: with 20 the link aggregation number used between VC-Bay1 and 5900-1.
Note: with no link aggregation between VC/5900, use ‘bind interface ten-Gig’ instead.
5900-1 # port trunk vsan 200
Note: 200 is the VSAN number used by FCoE.
o On the second 5900: the vfc interface is bound to the second FCoE MAC address:
5900-2 # interface vfc50
5900-2 # bind interface Bridge-Aggregation 20 mac 0017-a477-bc47
Note: with 20 the link aggregation number used between VC-Bay2 and 5900-2.
Note: with no link aggregation between VC/5900, use ‘bind interface ten-Gig’ instead.
5900-2 # port trunk vsan 201
Note: 201 is the VSAN number used by FCoE.
