Configuring the CEE interfaces
3
Assigning FCoE map on to an interface
The FCoE map cannot be edited, if it is associated to any interfaces.
The FCoE map can be applied, irrespective of whether the interface is in ‘switchport’ or not. But the
FCoE map cannot be applied on an interface, if the same interface already has a CEE map
assigned to it.
To assign the FCoE map to an interface, perform the following steps in global configuration mode.
1. Enter interface configuration mode.
switch(config)#interface intengigabitethernet 0/0
2. Use the fcoeport command to assign the FCoE map to the interface
switch(conf-if-te-0/0)#fcoeport
3. Enter the shutdown command to toggle the availability of the interface.
To enable the interface:
switch(conf-if-te-0/0)#no shutdown
To disable the interface:
switch(conf-if-te-0/0)#shutdown
4. Display the fcoe map to ensure the successful creation.
switch(conf-fcoe-map)#do show fcoe-map
fcoe-map default
cee-map :default
fcoe-vlan :6
interface(s) :te0/0
5. Repeat this procedure for any additional interfaces.
Configuring the CEE interfaces
Traffic from downstream CEE interfaces can be assigned to a VLAN using several methods:
• The VLAN tag contained in the incoming frame
• The VLAN classifiers
• The Port-VLAN ID (PVID)
Because the Ethernet uplink ports from the Dell FCoE hardware to the distribution layer switches
will carry traffic for multiple VLANs, they are configured as 802.1q trunk ports.
The downstream CEE ports connected to the server CNAs are configured as access ports with a
PVID of either 10 or 20. The VLAN classifier group created for the FIP and FCoE EtherTypes must be
applied to the interfaces in order to place FCoE traffic on the correct VLAN. The CEE map is also
applied to the interface.
If an interface is already assigned as an fcoeport, you cannot apply the CEE map to that interface.
Only a single CEE map is allowed, which is created automatically with the name “default.” You are
not be able to delete or rename this map.
