The values for the FCoE VLAN, fabric ID, and FC-MAP must be unique. Apply an FCoE map on
downstream server-facing Ethernet ports and upstream fabric-facing Fibre Channel ports.
1. Create an FCoE map which contains parameters used in the communication between servers and a
SAN fabric.
CONFIGURATION mode
fcoe-map map-name
2. Configure the association between the dedicated VLAN and the fabric where the desired storage
arrays are installed.
FCoE MAP mode
fabric-id fabric-num vlan vlan-id
The fabric and VLAN ID numbers must be the same.
The fabric and VLAN ID range is from 2 to 4094.
For example:
fabric id 10 vlan 10
3. Add a text description of the settings in the FCoE map.
FCoE MAP mode
description text
The maximum is 32 characters.
4. Specify the FC-MAP value used to generate a fabric-provided MAC address, which is required to send
FCoE traffic from a server on the FCoE VLAN to the FC fabric specified in Step 2.
FCoE MAP mode
fc-map fc-map-value
You must enter a unique MAC address prefix as the FC-MAP value for each fabric.
The range is from 0EFC00 to 0EFCFF.
The default is none.
5. Configure the priority used by a server CNA to select the FCF for a fabric login (FLOGI).
FCoE MAP mode
fcf-priority priority
The range is from 1 to 255.
The default is 128.
6. Enable the monitoring FIP keep-alive messages (if it is disabled) to detect if other FCoE devices are
reachable.
FCoE MAP mode
keepalive
The default is FIP keep-alive monitoring is enabled.
