Q-Logic 8100 SERIES manual Brocade CEE/FCoE Switch/Blade Configuration

C Brocade CEE/FCoE Switch/Blade Configuration

This appendix describes how to use the switch CLI to configure the Brocade FCoE switch port as a virtual Fibre Channel port. This configuration enables communication between the Fibre Channel and FCoE devices attached to the switch.

Configuring the Brocade FCoE switch involves the following steps:

1.Enable the Ethernet Switch Service (optional for Brocade 8000 series FCoE switch)

2.Create and configure the FCoE VLAN.

3.Create and configure the CEE-MAP.

4.Configure the LLDP/DCBX for FCoE.

5.Configure the CEE port.

6.Verify that the Converged Network Adapter is logged into the switch.

The steps and commands presented in this appendix may vary depending on your switch model and the firmware version installed on the switch. For detailed information about configuring the switch, refer to the Brocade switch configuration guide.

This configuration procedure assumes that:

The FCoE10-24 blade resides in slot 7 of the backbone switch (DCX/DCX-4S backbone only).

The QLogic 8100 Series Adapter is attached to the Brocade FCoE switch port 0/19.

A Fibre Channel target device is attached to Fibre Channel port 0/1 on the Brocade switch.

You have administrator authority on a workstation that is capable of running the Brocade switch CLI.

The VLAN number 1002 is available for use as an FCoE VLAN.
