Associating A Virtual Fibre Channel Interface To A Vsan; Verifying The Virtual Interface - Cisco AP775A - Nexus Converged Network Switch 5010 Configuration Manual

Associating a Virtual Fibre Channel Interface to a VSAN

This example shows how to bind a virtual Fibre Channel interface to an Ethernet interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface vfc 4
switch(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/4
This example shows how to bind a virtual Fibre Channel interface to create a vPC:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface vfc 3
switch(config-if)# bind interface port-channel 1
This example shows how to bind a virtual Fibre Channel interface to a MAC address:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface vfc 2
switch(config-if)# bind mac-address 00:0a:00:00:00:36
This example shows how to delete a virtual Fibre Channel interface:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# no interface vfc 4
Associating a Virtual Fibre Channel Interface to a VSAN
A unique, dedicated VLAN must be configured at every converged access switch to carry traffic for each
Virtual Fabric (VSAN) in the SAN (for example, VLAN 1002 for VSAN 1, VLAN 1003 for VSAN 2, and
so on). If MST is enabled, a separate MST instance must be used for FCoE VLANs.

Command or Action
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# vsan database
switch(config-vsan)# vsan vsan-id
interface vfc vfc-id
switch(config-vsan)# no vsan vsan-id
interface vfc vfc-id
Verifying the Virtual Interface
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Enters VSAN configuration mode.
Configures the association between the VSAN and
virtual Fibre Channel interface.
The VSAN number must map to a VLAN on the
physical Ethernet interface that is bound to the virtual
Fibre Channel interface.
(Optional)
Disassociates the connection between the VSAN and
virtual Fibre Channel interface.
