Vnics For Fcoe On Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter - Lenovo RackSwitch G8264 Application Manual

vNICs for FCoE on Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter

1. Disable FIP snooping automatic VLAN creation.
2. Turn CEE on.
3. Turn global FIP snooping on:
4. Configure server ports to be used for FCoE.
5. Enable VLAN tagging on FCoE ports.

ENOS vNICs support FCoE (see Chapter
application, when using the Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter, FCoE traffic is
expected to occur only on vNIC pipe 2. In this case, the additional vNIC
configuration for FCoE support is minimal.
Consider an example where the Fibre Channel network is connected to an FCoE
Forwarder (FCF) (See "The FCoE Topology" on page
are server ports connected to an Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter. Ports 38‐40 are the
uplink ports for the vNIC groups.
The following steps are required as part of the regular FCoE configuration (see
"FIP Snooping Configuration" on page
a. Disable the FIP Snooping automatic VLAN creation.
b. Disable FIP Snooping on all external ports not used for FCoE. FIP snooping
should be enabled only on ports connected to an FCF or ENode.
c. Turn on CEE and FIP Snooping.
d. Manually configure the FCoE ports and VLAN: enable VLAN tagging on all
FCoE ports, enable PVID tagging on ENode ports (only for Emulex CNA BE 2),
and place FCoE ports into a supported VLAN.
When CEE is turned on and the regular FCoE configuration is complete, FCoE
traffic will be automatically assigned to PFC priority 3, and be initially allocated
50% of port bandwidth via ETS.

Note: Turning CEE on will automatically change some 802.1p QoS and 802.3x
standard flow control settings and menus (see "Turning CEE On or Off" on
page 368).
