Figure 11-12 Internal and External port inclusion for FCoE VLAN
With this VLAN created, FCoE zones can be configured to map Compute Node 11 to IBM
Flex System V7000 Storage Node by internal ports INTA3+4, and/or to external storage by
port EXT12. The connectivity between Compute Node 11 and IBM Flex System V7000
Storage Node is FCoE as shown in Figure 11-12 but any connection to external storage by
port EXT12 is using Fibre Channel. The IBM Flex System Fabric CN4093 10Gb Converged
Scalable Switch with this VLAN configured and using FCF provides an example of FCoE
gateway for bridging FCoE and Fibre Channel networks. It is where Compute Node 11 using
FCoE connectivity can attach to external storage which is FC attached to the CN4093.
Administration Interface for CN4093
There are several methods of accessing CN4093 in order to configure, view, or make
changes:
1. Using a Telnet/SSH connection by the chassis management module
2. Using a Telnet/SSH connection over the network
3. Using the Browser-Based Interface (BBI) over the network
4. Using a serial connection by the serial port on the CN4093
The Telnet/SSH connection accesses two types of Command Line Interpreter (CLI); one of
them is a text menu based CLI, the other one is based on the international standard CLI
(ISCLI). In this section, we use the ISCLI to display and enter commands on the IBM Flex
System Fabric CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable Switch. For more information about the
IBM Flex System Fabric CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable Switch, see this website:

Configuring for Fibre Channel Forwarding
In this section, we create the VLAN as shown in Figure 11-12 before creating zones and
allowing access from Compute Node 11 to IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node located in
the first 4 bays of the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis. Here, we summarize the steps:
1. Enter Enable to get the right privilege.
2. Enter Configure Terminal to use ISCLI commands.
1. Enable CEE and FIPS.
2. Convert the omni-ports EXT11 and EXT12 (53,54) to Fibre Channel ports.
3. Create FCoE VLAN.
