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

Storage VDC on Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches
Shared Interfaces
Any change in protocol state that flaps the parent port of a shared interface because of any port feature
Note
also affects the FCOE traffic on the storage vdc.
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 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.
