•
Allocate resources for the dedicated FCoE VDC from an F Series module, such as the 32-port 1- and
10-Gigabit Ethernet I/O module (PID N7K-F132XP-15) .
•
Rollback is not supported in a storage VDC.
•
FCoE support on F2 and F2e Series modules, SF248XP-25 requires Supervisor 2 module.
•
F2 and F2e series modules cannot exist in the same VDC with any other module type. This applies to
both LAN and storage VDCs.
Shared Interfaces
Any change in protocol state that flaps the parent port of a shared interface because of any port feature
also affects the FCOE traffic on the storage vdc.
Note
The following interface config modes are not allowed while sharing an interface from Ethernet vdc to a storage
vdc:
•
SPAN destination
•
Private VLAN mode
•
Port-channel interfaces
•
Access mode
•
mac-packet-classify
•
Interfaces that are part of a VLAN that has an associated QoS policy
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.
