DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters configuration mode.
configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Step 1
Enters VDC configuration mode. You can only enable storage
feature in a storage VDC. You do not need to allow the
vdc vdc-name type storage
Example:
switch(config)# vdc fcoe-vdc type storage
switch(config-vdc)#
Step 2
feature-set or enable it in the storage VDC because this process
is handled automatically for a storage VDC.
Allocates the VLANs that can be used for FCoE and mapped
to a VSAN. You can optionally allocate the VLANs from
another VDC.
allocate fcoe-vlan-range vlan-range
[
from vdcs
vdc-name
]
Example:
switch(config-vdc)# allocate fcoe-vlan-range
10-30
Step 3
(Optional)
Displays information about the VLAN range allocated for
FCoE.
show fcoe-vlan-range
Example:
switch(config-vdc)#
show fcoe-vlan-range
Step 4
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration.
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config-vdc)# copy running-config
startup-config
