Configuration Procedure; Configuring An Fc-Map Value; Configuring An Fka Advertisement Interval Value - HP 5920 SERIES Fc And Fcoe Configuration Manual

Make sure the Ethernet interface bound to the VFC interface allows the FCoE-capable VLAN.
•

Configuration procedure

To enable FCoE for a VLAN and map the VLAN to a VSAN:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VLAN view.
3. Enable FCoE for the VLAN and
map the VLAN to a VSAN.

Configuring an FC-MAP value

An FC-MAP value identifies an FCoE network. Switches in the same FCoE network must have the same
FC-MAP value.
After an FC-MAP value is configured, VFC interfaces perform a FIP renegotiation. The same FC-MAP
value is required for two VFC interfaces to negotiate successfully.
To configure an FC-MAP value:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure an FC-MAP
value.

Configuring an FKA advertisement interval value

The FKA advertisement interval determines the length of time it takes for the switch to detect the
disconnection of a virtual link.
To maintain the virtual link established with a peer switch, a switch sends unsolicited Discovery
•
Advertisements every FKA advertisement interval out of its VFC interfaces in E mode. The FKA
advertisement interval value is carried in unsolicited Discovery Advertisements. After receiving an
unsolicited Discovery Advertisement, the peer switch maintains the status of the virtual link and
records the FKA advertisement interval value. If the peer switch fails to receive an unsolicited
Discovery Advertisement within 2.5 FKA advertisement intervals, it deletes the virtual link.
To maintain the virtual link established with a peer ENode, the switch sends unsolicited Discovery
•
Advertisements every FKA advertisement interval out of its VFC interfaces in F mode. The FKA
advertisement interval value is carried in unsolicited Discovery Advertisements. After receiving an
unsolicited Discovery Advertisement, the peer ENode maintains the status of the virtual link and
records the FKA advertisement interval value. If the peer ENode fails to receive an unsolicited
Discovery Advertisement within 2.5 FKA advertisement intervals, it deletes the virtual link. In
addition, the ENode sends keepalive frames to the switch every FKA advertisement interval value.
This value is obtained from unsolicited Discovery Advertisements received from the switch. After
