Purpose
Command or Action
Installs the FCoE feature-set.
install feature-set fcoe
Example:
switch(config)# install feature-set fcoe
Step 2
Enters system qos mode.
system qos
Example:
switch(config)# system qos
switch(config-sys-qos)#
Step 3
Enables no drop queue for FCoE class.
service-policy type network-qos policy-map name
Example:
switch(config-sys-qos)#service-policy type
network-qos default-nq-7e-policy
Step 4
Creates a dedicated storage VDC and enters VDC
configuration mode. You can only enable storage features
vdc vdc-name type storage
Example:
switch(config)# vdc fcoe-vdc type storage
switch(config-vdc)#
Step 5
in a storage VDC. You do not need to allow the feature-set
or enable it in the storage VDC because this process is
handled automatically for a storage VDC.
Set ethernet ports to default access port mode.
system default switchport
Example:
switch(config-vdc)# system default switchport
Step 6
Enables the LLDP feature in the storage VDC.
feature lldp
Example:
switch(config)# feature lldp
Step 7
(Optional)
Enables the LACP feature in the storage VDC.
feature lacp
Example:
switch(config)# feature lacp
Step 8
(Optional)
Allocates interfaces to the storage VDC as a dedicated
FCoE port. You must allocate all interfaces in the port
allocate interface ethernet int-numb
Example:
switch(config-vdc)# allocate interface ethernet
2/1-2
switch(config-if)#
Step 9
group. You must configure these interfaces in switchport
trunk mode as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) edge ports.
(Optional)
Switches to the storage VDC.
switchto vdc vdc-name
Example:
switch(config-vdc)# switchto vdc fcoe-vdc
switch-fcoe-vdc#
Step 10
(Optional)
Displays information about the feature-sets in this VDC.
show feature-set
Example:
switch-fcoe-vdc#
show feature-set
