5 Configuring the FCoE VLAN

VLAN 1002 is reserved for FCoE VLAN. If VLAN 1002 is already assigned as a LAN VLAN, it is automatically recreated as the FCoE VLAN while creating the default fcoe-map.

The FCoE VLAN can be created in the FCoE map configuration mode as well. The fcoe-vlancommand creates the FCoE VLAN if the corresponding VLAN does not exist in the system. If a VLAN already exists with the same VLAN ID, then the command fails.

The FCoE VLANs can be seen using the show vlan fcoe command. Alternatively, the show vlan brief command can be used, in which FCoE VLANs are marked with an “(F)”.

No VLAN classifiers (including FIP and FCoE classifiers) are allowed to be configured for the FCoE VLAN.

To configure the FCoE VLAN, perform the following steps in global configuration mode.

1. Activate the FCoE map configuration mode.

switch(config)#fcoe-map default switch(conf-fcoe-map)#

2. Use the fcoe-vlancommand to specify a new VLAN ID.

Only one FCoE VLAN can be active at a time, and this command will be successful only if the new VLAN ID can be created and the old VLAN ID can be deleted. The FCoE VLAN cannot be changed if the fcoeport profile is already applied to an interface.

switch(conf-fcoe-map)#fcoe-vlan 5

3. Use the do show vlan fcoe command to confirm the VLAN ID change.

switch(conf-fcoe-map)#do		show vlan fcoe	State	Ports
VLAN	Name
(F)-FCoE				(u)-Untagged, (t)-Tagged
======= ================		======= ===============================
5(F)	VLAN0005		ACTIVE

4. Use the do show fcoe-mapcommand to confirm the current status of the FCoE map.

The following example shows that the FCoE VLAN has been assigned the ID of 5, but the map has not been assigned to any interfaces.

switch(conf-fcoe-map)#do show fcoe-map

fcoe-map default	: default
cee-map
fcoe-vlan	: 5

Assigning an FCoE map onto an interface

The FCoE map cannot be edited if it is associated with any interfaces.

The FCoE map can be applied, irrespective of whether or not the interface is in ‘switchport’ mode. But the FCoE map cannot be applied on an interface if the same interface already has a CEE map assigned to it.

To assign the FCoE map onto an interface, perform the following steps in global configuration mode.

1. Activate the interface configuration mode for the interface you wish to modify.

The following example activates the mode for the 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface in slot 0/port 0.

switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/0
