Dell MXL 10/40GbE Applying an FCoE Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports, Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-facing FC Ports

FCoE devices are reachable. Default: FIP keep-
alive monitoring is enabled.
7Configure the time interval (in seconds) used
to transmit FIP keepalive advertisements.
Range: 8-90 seconds. Default: 8 seconds.

FCoE MAP
Applying an FCoE Map on Server-facing Ethernet Ports
You can apply multiple FCoE maps on an Ethernet port or port channel. When you apply an FCoE map on
a server-facing port or port channel:
• The port is configured to operate in hybrid mode (accept both tagged and untagged VLAN frames).
• The associated FCoE VLAN is enabled on the port or port channel.
When you enable a server-facing Ethernet port, the servers respond to the FIP advertisements by
performing FLOGIs on upstream virtualized FCF ports. The NPG forwards the FLOGIs as fabric discovery
(FDISC) messages to a SAN switch.

2Apply the FCoE/FC configuration in an FCoE
map on the Ethernet port. Repeat this step to
apply an FCoE map to more than one port, for
example:

Applying an FCoE Map on Fabric-facing FC Ports
The MXL 10/40GbE Switch and M I/O Aggregator, with the FC Flex IO module FC ports, are configured by
default to operate in N port mode to connect to an F port on an FC switch in a fabric. You can apply only
one FCoE map on an FC port.
