− Select the E mode if the VFC interface connects to another FCF switch.
− Select the F mode if the VFC interface connects to a server, a storage device, or an NPV
switch.
For a VFC interface on an NPV switch:
− Select the NP mode if the VFC interface connects to an FCF switch.
− Select the F mode if the VFC interface connects to a server or storage device.
NOTE:
In VFM, VFC interfaces cannot be configured to operate in Auto mode.
{
Bind Ethernet Interface—Select an Ethernet interface to be bound to the VFC interface from the
list. Options are all Ethernet interfaces on the FCoE switch.
{
Bind MAC Address—Enter the peer FCoE MAC address to be bound to the VFC interface. One
MAC address can be bound to only one VFC interface.
{
FCF Priority—Enter the FCF priority for the VFC interface. If a server or storage device is
connected to multiple VFC interfaces, the server or storage device registers with the FCoE
switch whose VFC interface has the highest FCF priority.
3. Click OK.
Modifying a VFC interface
1. In the VFC interface list, click the link for the VFC interface you want to modify, and select
Modify Port Configuration from the menu that appears.
2. Modify the parameters for the VFC interface. For more information, see " Adding a VFC
interface ".
You can modify all parameters except the interface name.
3. Click OK.
Deleting VFC interfaces
Deleting a VFC interface in VFM also deletes the VFC interface on the FCoE switch.
Deleting a VFC interface affects the allowed VSANs on the VFC interface and therefore affects access
between server-storage pairs. Therefore, before deleting a VFC interface, make sure it will not be used.
To delete VFC interfaces:
1. In the VFC interface list, select one or more VFC interfaces.
2. Click Delete. A confirmation dialog box appears.
3. Click OK.
Synchronizing VFC interfaces
VFM does not separately synchronize VFC interfaces and their configurations.
It synchronizes VFC interface information when synchronizing FCoE switches (see "
Synchronizing FCoE
switches ").
Enabling or disabling VFC interfaces
Perform this task to modify the administrative status of VFC interfaces. When the administrative status of
a VFC interface is disabled, the operational status of the VFC interface is disabled. When the
administrative status of a VFC interface is enabled, the operational status of the VFC interface is up or
down, depending on the link status.
