VLAN configuration and management

Configuring a VLAN interface to forward FCoE traffic

An FCoE Forwarder (FCF) is an FCoE device that supports FCoE VF_ports. It is the equivalent of an
FC switch. A VLAN can be made FCF-capable. Only FCF-capable VLANs can carry FCoE traffic.
To configure a VLAN interface to forward FCoE traffic, perform the following steps from Privileged
EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter the interface command to select the VLAN interface number.

Configuring an interface port as a Layer 2 switch port

To configure the interface as a Layer 2 switch port, perform the following steps from Privileged
EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.
3. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.
4. Enter the switchport command to configure the interface as a Layer 2 switch port.
5. Enter the do show command to confirm the status of the CEE interface. For example
6. Enter the do show command to confirm the status of the CEE interface running configuration.

Configuring an interface port as an access interface

Each CEE interface port supports admission policies based on whether the frames are untagged or
tagged. Access mode admits only untagged and priority-tagged frames.
To configure the interface as an access interface, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC
mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.
3. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.
4. Enter the switchport command to configure the CEE interface as a Layer 2 switch port.
