7. Configure the time interval (in seconds) used to transmit FIP keepalive advertisements.
FCoE MAP mode
fka-adv-period seconds
The range is from 8 to 90 seconds.
The default is 8 seconds.
Zoning
The zoning configurations are supported for Fabric FCF Port mode operation on the MXL.
In FCF Port mode, the fcoe-map fabric map-name has the default Zone mode set to deny. This setting
denies all the fabric connections unless included in an active zoneset. To change this setting, use the
default-zone-allow command. Changing this setting to all allows all the fabric connections without
zoning.
Zoning is a mechanism to ensure only the nodes that are part of a zone can communicate with each
other. Zoning prevents unauthorized access of storage assets. A zone consists of members which are
nodes that the adapter address, fabric address, interface, or alias specifies. S5000 supports using World
Wide Port Name (WWPN), Fibre Channel ID (FC-ID), or alias as members of a zone.
• WWPN: End device's port WWN name.
• FC-ID: Switch assigned 24-bit device FC address.
• Alias: User-defined name of a zone member.
NOTE: The MXL does not support using WWNN or Domain/Port as members of a zone.
