fcoeport
no shut
exit
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for any other blade port you wish to configure.

See the Converged Enhanced Ethernet Administrator's Guide for information about CEE CLI interface and
configuring switches for FCoE operation and the Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command Reference for more
details on the commands.
Connecting the converged network switch to the Ethernet management network
Once you have successfully set the appropriate IP address of the switch module, you can establish an Ethernet
connection through the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to a remote management workstation for any
additional configuration. The management workstation must be on the same Ethernet subnet as the CMC.
NOTE
Ensure that the switch module is not being modified from any other connection until configuration is complete.
Connecting the converged network switch to the fabric
Before beginning the following steps, determine whether the switch module is in NPIV or full fabric mode. This
affects the configuration process. Using the converged network switch CLI, you can enter the ag ––modeShow
command to determine the current operating mode. These steps assume the switch is in NPIV mode.
1. Log onto the switch module through a Telnet connection, using the admin account.
2. If you need to install SFP transceivers, install them in the external ports as required.
Be sure you have all the necessary SFP transceivers as well as either optical or active twin-ax copper cables.
a. Remove the dust plugs from the ports to be used.
b. If necessary, remove the end caps from the SFP.
c. Orient the transceiver correctly and insert it into a port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism
clicks.
For instructions specific to the type of transceiver, refer to the transceiver manufacturer's documentation.
