Managing and displaying the FCoE configuration

FCoE technology bridges the boundary between the SAN and LAN sections of your network. FCoE configuration tasks require mostly configuration of the interface ports on the switch.

NOTE

To assist you in configuring FCoE, see “FCoE Initialization Protocol” on page 8.

Enabling or disabling an FCoE port

To enable or disable an FCoE port, perform the following tasks.

Task	Command
Enable an FCOE port.	switch:admin> fcoe --enableport
Disable an FCOE port.	switch:admin> fcoe --disable port

Configuring FCMAP values for a VLAN

NOTE

For information on FCMAPs, see “FCoE Initialization Protocol” on page 8.

If the FCMAP default value is acceptable, then it can be applied to the specified VLAN. The fcmapunset command is only necessary if the FCMAP value was previously set to a non-default value. For example, if you reset the default value to a value other than the default value, and then want to change the value again, you must enter the fcmapunset command to return the value to the default value. The fcmapunset command always returns the FCMAP to the default value.

To configure FCMAP values for a VLAN, perform the following tasks.

Task	Command
Configure the FCMAP values for Fabric Provided	switch:admin> fcoe --fcmapset -vlan vid fcmapid
MAC Addresses (FPMA) for the specified VLANs.
Syntax is as follows:
• vid—Specifies the VLAN ID for which the
FCMAP must be set.
• fcmapid—Specifies the FCMAP to be set.
Remove the FCMAP from the specified VLAN.	switch:admin> fcoe --fcmapunset -vlan vid
