Configuring FCMAP values for a VLAN

NOTE
For information on FCMAPs, see
If the FCMAP default value is acceptable, then it can be applied to the specified VLAN. The
fcmapunset command is only necessary if the FCMAP value was previously set to a non-default
value. For example, if you reset the default value to a value other than the default value, and then
want to change the value again, you must enter the fcmapunset command to return the value to
the default value. The fcmapunset command always returns the FCMAP to the default value.
To configure FCMAP values for a VLAN, perform the following tasks.
