vNICs for FCoE Using the Emulex VFA
Similar
to
the
iSCSI
application,
when
using
the
Emulex
VFA
for
Lenovo
chassis
systems,
FCoE
traffic
is
expected
to
occur
only
on
vNIC
pipe
2.
In
this
case,
the
additional
vNIC
configuration
for
FCoE
support
is
minimal.
Consider
an
example
where
the
Fibre
Channel
network
is
connected
to
an
FCoE
Forwarder
(FCF)
bridge
via
bridge
port
EXT4,
and
to
an
ENode
on
port
INT1.
1.
The
following
steps
are
required
as
part
of
the
regular
FCoE
configuration
(see
a.
Disable
the
FIP
Snooping
automatic
VLAN
creation.
b.
Disable
FIP
Snooping
on
all
external
ports
not
used
for
FCoE.
FIP
snooping
should
be
enabled
only
on
ports
connected
to
an
FCF
or
ENode.
c.
Turn
on
CEE
and
FIP
Snooping.
d.
Manually
configure
the
FCoE
ports
and
VLAN:
enable
VLAN
tagging
on
all
FCoE
ports,
and
place
FCoE
ports
into
a
supported
VLAN.
When
CEE
is
turned
on
and
the
regular
FCoE
configuration
is
complete,
FCoE
traffic
will
be
automatically
assigned
to
PFC
priority
3,
and
be
initially
allocated
50%
of
port
bandwidth
via
ETS.
The
following
steps
are
specific
to
vNIC
configuration.
2.
On
the
NIC,
ensure
that
FCoE
traffic
occurs
on
vNIC
pipe
2
only.
Refer
to
your
Emulex
VFA
documentation
for
details.
3.
On
the
switch,
enable
the
vNIC
feature.
4.
(Optional)
For
additional
security,
set
the
desired
operation
mode
for
FCoE
ports:
No
additional
configuration
for
vNIC
pipes
or
vNIC
groups
is
required
for
FCoE.
However,
for
other
networks
connected
to
the
switch,
appropriate
vNIC
pipes
and
vNIC
groups
should
be
configured
as
normal,
if
desired.
