Purpose
Command or Action
Configures the switchport mode for a virtual Fibre Channel
interface. The
mode
is E or F. The default is F mode.
switchport mode mode
Example:
switch(config-if)# switchport mode e
Step 3
(Optional)
Displays information about the virtual Fibre Channel interfaces
bound to port channel interfaces.
show interface vfc-port-channel int-number
Example:
switch(config-if)# show interface
vfc-port-channel 2
Step 4
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration.
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config)# copy running-config
startup-config
Step 5
Associating a Virtual Fibre Channel Interface to a VSAN
You must configure unique, dedicated VLAN at every converged access switch to carry traffic for each Virtual
Fabric (VSAN) in the SAN (for example, VLAN 1002 for VSAN 1, VLAN 1003 for VSAN 2, and so on). If
you enable MST, you must use a separate MST instance for FCoE VLANs.
Before You Begin
For Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches, ensure that you are in the storage VDC.
