Shared Ethernet interfaces must be in trunk mode and only shared with one other VDC.
Storage VDC
Configuring a VDC for the OOB management interface mgmt0 is accomplished with the
vrf context
management
command. However, a storage VDC does not support VRF, so configuring mgmt0 requires a
different approach.
The following table shows how to configure mgmt 0 for a VDC and for a storage VDC:
Configuring mgmt 0 for storage VDC
Configuring mgmt 0 for VDC
interface mgmt 0
ip address
mgmt0_ip_address mgmt0_subnet_mask
no shut
ip route 0.0.0.0/0
default_gateway
The
ip route
command specifies the default
route that points to the default gateway.
Note
vrf context management
ip route 0.0.0.0/0
default_gateway
where
•
mgmt0_ip_address
is the mgmt0 IPv4 address.
•
mgmt0_subnet_mask
is the mgmt0 IPv4 netmask.
•
default_gateway
is the IPv4 address of the default-gateway.

Cisco MDS 9500: Guidelines and Limitations
•
You cannot enable FCoE on the default VLAN.
•
You can only enable FCoE on an FCoE module.
•
The QoS policy must be the same on all Cisco FCoE switches in the network.
•
Cisco MDS 9500 does not support LAN traffic and only accepts and processes FCoE frames.
•
You must install a Supervisor-2A module to configure FCoE.
•
You can install an FCoE module in a fabric that uses FC-Redirect services but do not install the FCoE
module in the same switch where FC-Redirect services application modules are enabled.
•
SME does not support any FCoE connected devices including devices connected through the MDS FCoE
linecard (DX-X9708-K9)
•
In Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 5.2(x), you cannot install a FCoE module in a switch that is running
DMM, SME, or IOA.
