Description

Connected To

Displays the system name or management IP address of the FCoE-capable

switch that this uplink port is connected to on the other end. The remote

device must support LLDP to display this information.

FCF Name

FCF switch node WWN name associated with the FCoE VLAN. The name
is provided by the FCF in snooped FIP messages.

Fabric Name

The fabric name associated with the FCoE VLAN. It is provided by the FCF

The following table describes the columns within the Uplink Port FCF MAC Addresses table.

Column

Description

LAG ID

Identifies the group of ports that have been aggregated together to form

an 802.3ad Link Aggregation Group. This ID is unique only within a
single VC-Enet module, meaning the same LAG ID can be used on

different VC-Enet modules, but it is only meaningful for ports within the

same VC-Enet module.

VLAN ID

The VLAN ID associated with the list of FCF MAC Addresses

FCF MAC Address

In FCF mode, typically a single FCF MAC address is advertised per

switch. In NPV mode, typically each port on the FCF switch that is part of

the LAG advertises its own FCF MAC address.

The following table describes the columns within the Downlink Port Sessions table.

Column

Description

Port

The server downlink port corresponding to the FCoE connection
associated with the FCoE network

MAC Address

MAC address of the server downlink port corresponding to the FCoE

connection

LAG ID

LAG ID for the uplink ports providing FCoE connectivity for this server
downlink port

VLAN ID

VLAN ID associated with the FCoE network assigned to the server

downlink port

Network

Network name associated with the FCoE network

Profile

Descriptive name for the server profile that associates server downlink
port, FCoE connection and FCoE network

FCF MAC Address

In FCF mode, typically a single FCF MAC address is advertised per

switch. In NPV mode, typically each port on the FCF switch that is part of

the LAG advertises its own FCF MAC address.

FCoE MAC Address

Fabric Provided MAC Address (FPMA). This MAC address is used by the

server CNA to log into the SAN Fabric represented by the FCoE network.

The FCoE MAC is constructed from FC-MAP and FC_ID, both provided by
the FCF.

FC ID

The FC_ID is a 24 bit field assigned by the Fabric services on the FCF to

each initiator and used to route frames through the FC network.

FCF Name

FCF switch node WWN name associated with the FCoE network. The

name in snooped FIP messages is provided by the FCF.
