Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE
Switch with the FC Flex IO module.
Usage
Information
An FCoE map is a template used to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged
fabric. An FCoE map is used to virtualize upstream FC ports on an M I/O
Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy
gateway so that they appear to downstream server CNA ports as FCoE forwarder
(FCF) ports on an FCoE network. When applied to FC and Ethernet ports on an
NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map allows the switch to operate as an FCoE-FC
bridge between an FC SAN and an FCoE network by providing FCoE-enabled
servers and switches with the necessary parameters to log in to a SAN fabric.
On an M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO module
NPIV proxy gateway, you cannot apply an FCoE map is applied on fabric-facing FC
ports and server-facing 10–Gigabit Ethernet ports.
An FCoE map consists of the following parameters: the dedicated FCoE VLAN used
for storage traffic, the destination SAN fabric (FC-MAP value), FCF priority used by a
server, and the FIP keepalive (FKA) advertisement timeout.
In each FCoE map, the fabric ID, FC-MAP value, and FCoE VLAN parameters must
be unique. Use one FCoE map to access one SAN fabric. You cannot use the same
FCoE map to access different fabrics.
To remove an FCoE map from an Ethernet interface, enter the
no fcoe-map
map-name
command in Interface configuration mode.
