o interface vfc 2
o description vfc for Server-2
# Bind the Bridge Aggregation to the MAC address of the first Blade server FCoE adapter 2
o bind interface Bridge-Aggregation20 mac 0017-a477-bc47
# Assign it to the FCoE EVA VSAN
o port trunk vsan 301
Nexus switch-B configuration
 Upgrade the Nexus switch with minimum NX-OS supported version.
Note: Refer to SPOCK C-Series FCoE Switch Connectivity stream for additional information at

o vlan 201
o fcoe vsan 201
o vlan 301
o fcoe vsan 301
Note: Enabling FCoE on VLAN 1 is not supported.
 Create a port channel with the 5900 switch B with eth1/11 and eth1/12
eth1/11 and eth1/12 can be used because both are mapped to the same UPC (i.e. UPC#2) on Nexus 5010 (for more
information see Appendix A):
o interface ethernet 1/11-12
o channel-group 300 mode active
o lacp rate fast
 Create the VLANs for the IP traffic:
o vlan 1,10,20
 Create a trunk on the port channel interface to pass FCoE VLAN 201 and 301 and Ethernet traffic (VLAN 1,10,20):
o interface port-channel 300
o description FCoE Port Channel to 5900-B-GE1/0/16-17
o switchport mode trunk
