Usage Information

An FCoE map is a template to map FCoE and FC parameters in a converged fabric. An FCoE map virtualizes upstream FC ports on an NPIV proxy gateway to 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. It provides necessary parameters to FCoE-enabled servers and switches to log in to a SAN fabric.

On an FN IOM NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map is applied on fabric-facing FC ports and server-facing Ethernet ports. Use the fcoe-map command to apply an FCoE map on an Ethernet port. Use the fabric command to apply an FCoE map on an FC port.

An FCoE map consists of the following parameters: the dedicated FCoE VLAN for storage traffic, the destination SAN fabric (FC-MAP value), FCF priority, and the FIP keepalive (FKA) advertisement timeout.

To remove an FCoE map from an Ethernet interface, enter the no fcoe-map map-name command in Interface configuration mode.

NOTE: In FCF F mode, you can create only 1 FCoE map. It doesn’t get created automatically. If you try to create more than 1 map, an error message is displayed.
