VLAN configuration and management

NOTE

To see the minimum configuration required to enable FCoE on Dell FCoE hardware, refer to Chapter 3, “Initial FCoE and CEE Configuration”.

NOTE

You need to enter either the copy running-configstartup-configcommand or the write memory command to save your configuration changes to Flash so that they are not lost if there is a system reload or power outage.

Enabling and disabling an interface port

NOTE

CEE interfaces are disabled by default.

NOTE

CEE interfaces do not support auto-negotiation of Ethernet link speeds. The CEE interfaces only support 10-Gigabit Ethernet.

To enable and disable an interface port, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.

switch(config)#interface intengigabitethernet 0/1

3. Enter the shutdown command to toggle the availability of the interface. To enable the CEE interface:

switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#no shutdown

To disable the CEE interface:

switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#shutdown

Configuring the MTU on an interface port

To configure the maximum transmission unit (MTU) on an interface port, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Enter the interface command to specify the interface port type and slot/port number.

switch(config)#interface intengigabitethernet 0/1

3.Enter the no shutdown command to enable the interface port.

4.Enter the mtu command to specify the MTU value on the interface port.

The following example sets the MTU value to 4200.

switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#mtu 4200
