Managing and displaying the FCoE configuration
FCoE technology bridges the boundary between the SAN and LAN sections of your network. FCoE
configuration tasks require mostly configuration of the interface ports on the switch.
NOTE
To assist you in configuring FCoE, see “FCoE Initialization Protocol” on page 8.
Enabling or disabling an FCoE port
To enable or disable an FCoE port, perform the following tasks.
Configuring FCMAP values for a VLAN
NOTE
For information on FCMAPs, see “FCoE Initialization Protocol” on page 8.
If the FCMAP default value is acceptable, then it can be applied to the specified VLAN. The
fcmapunset command is only necessary if the FCMAP value was previously set to a non-default
value. For example, if you reset the default value to a value other than the default value, and then
want to change the value again, you must enter the fcmapunset command to return the value to
the default value. The fcmapunset command always returns the FCMAP to the default value.
To configure FCMAP values for a VLAN, perform the following tasks.
Configuring FIP multicast advertisement intervals
NOTE
For information on the FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP), see “FCoE Initialization Protocol” on page 8.
Task Command

MAC Addresses (FPMA) for the specified VLANs.
Syntax is as follows:
•
vid—Specifies the VLAN ID for which the
FCMAP must be set.
•
fcmapid—Specifies the FCMAP to be set.
switch:admin> fcoe --fcmapset -vlan vid fcmapid
Remove the FCMAP from the specified VLAN. switch:admin> fcoe --fcmapunset -vlan vid
