3.

Once in the command shell, enter the following command:

enable

4.

Then Enter the following command to enter configure mode:

configure terminal

5.

Enter the following commands:

a.

interface intengigabitethernet 0/x

, where x is the internal port you wish to change, which is the Slot

position of the server blade with the Converged Network Adapter being connected to.

NOTE

The internal ports are numbered 1 through 16 corresponding to the server blade slot positions. The external
ports would be configured with the command interface exttengigabitethernet 0/x, but the external ports would
only be set to FCoE mode when connected to an external Host Server with a CNA. The external ports should not
be connected to another FCoE Switch.

6.

Once in the interface for the port, enter the following commands in the order shown:

fcoeport

exit

NOTE

The interface command fcoeport applies the following to the interface to enable FCoE traffic:
The corresponding FCoE VLAN is applied to the interface (VLAN 1002)
The corresponding CEE map is applied to the interface (“default”)
The FCoE/FIP VLAN classifiers are applied to the interface
See the Dell Converged Enhanced Ethernet administrators guide for more details of this command.

7.

Repeat steps 5-6 for any other ports for additional server blade slots you wish to configure. Additionally as
needed, configure the internal ports for converged mode with a VLAN for untagged frames for non FC traffic, and
configure FC trunks or LACP LAG’s on external ports.

NOTE

To view the CEE port configuration type: do show running-config
To view FCoE device connectivity type: do fos switchshow and do fos fcoe --loginshow

8.

Once finished with all of the blade ports, type exit and press Enter (you should still be in the CMSH at this point).

9.

Enter the following command to save the running config as the startup config:

write memory

Answer yes to overwrite the startup file.

See the Converged Enhanced Ethernet Administrator’s Guide for information about CEE CLI interface and
configuring switches for FCoE operation and the Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command Reference for more
details on the commands.
