Cisco Mds 9500: Guidelines And Limitations - Cisco Nexus 7000 series Configuration Manual

FCoE
• 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 VDC
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.
For more information about VDC, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Virtual Device Context Configuration
Guide.

Cisco MDS 9500: Guidelines and Limitations

• You cannot enable FCoE on the default VLAN.
• You can only enable FCoE on an FCoE module.
• The QoS policy must be the same on all Cisco FCoE switches in the network.
• Cisco MDS 9500 does not support LAN traffic and only accepts and processes FCoE frames.
• You must install a Supervisor-2A module to configure FCoE.
• You can install an FCoE module in a fabric that uses FC-Redirect services but do not install the FCoE
• SME does not support any FCoE connected devices including devices connected through the MDS FCoE
OL-25809-02
module in the same switch where FC-Redirect services application modules are enabled.
