Overview

This chapter describes how to configure Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) properties on the switch using CLI commands. For detailed information about all the CEE CLI commands, refer to the Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command Reference Supporting Fabric OS v6.4.0 (53-1001762-01).

All of the CLI commands are entered using the Telnet or console interface on the Brocade FCoE hardware.

End to End FCoE using FC ISLs

Support for end-to-end FCoE is achieved through FC ISLs, allowing FCoE traffic to be carried across multiple FC ISL hops, eventually terminating in FC or FCoE storage.
