Overview
This chapter describes how to configure Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged
Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) properties on the switch using CEE CLI commands. For detailed
information about all the CEE CLI commands, refer to the Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command
Reference Supporting Fabric OS v6.4.0 (53-1001762-01).
All of the CLI commands are entered using the Telnet or console interface on the Dell FCoE
hardware. See “CEE CLI command modes” on page 15 for complete instructions on logging into the
Dell FCoE hardware.
Configuring the FCoE interfaces
FCoE maps are used to configure FCoE properties on interfaces. An FCoE map is a placeholder for
an FCoE VLAN and a CEE map. You can assign FCoE maps on to physical interfaces using the
fcoeport command. On assigning an FCoE map onto interface:
• The corresponding FCoE VLAN is applied to the interface.
• The corresponding CEE map is applied to the interface.
• The FCoE/FIP vlan classifiers are applied to the interface.
In short, the interface becomes capable of carrying FCoE traffic. The FCoE map can be applied on
an interface only if the FCoE map is complete in all aspects. That is, it should have an FCoE VLAN
and a CEE map associated with it.
In short, the interface becomes capable for carrying FCoE traffic. FCoE map can be applied on an
interface, only if the FCoE map is complete in all respect. That is, it should have an FCoE VLAN and
