This example shows how to configure the global fabric priority for a Cisco MDS 9500 switch:

switch#

configure terminal

switch(config)#

fcoe fcf-priority 42

Setting the Advertisment Interval

You can configure the interval for Fibre Channel fabric advertisement on the switch.

For Cisco MDS 9500 switches, start at

configure terminal

below .

Note

Before You Begin

For Cisco Nexus 7000 Series, you must be in the storage VDC to configure this feature.

SUMMARY STEPS

(Cisco Nexus 7000)

switchto vdc vdc-id type storage

configure terminal

fcoe fka-adv-period interval

DETAILED STEPS

Purpose

Command or Action

Switches to the storage VDC. The step is required for
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series only.

(Cisco Nexus 7000)

switchto vdc vdc-id type storage

Example:

switch# switchto vdc fcoe type storage
fcoe#

Step 1

Enters configuration mode.

configure terminal

Example:

fcoe# configure terminal
fcoe(config)#

Step 2

Configures the advertisement interval for the fabric. The
default value is 8 seconds. The range is from 4 to 60
seconds.

fcoe fka-adv-period interval

Example:

fcoe(config)# fcoe fka-adv-period 8
fcoe#

Step 3

This example shows how to configure the advertisement interval for the fabric on a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series
switch:

switch#
