Deploying FCoE (FIP Snooping) on Dell Force 10 MXL
Step by step explanation of the CLI example
Configure – this brings you into the configuration interface.
o
feature FCOE – enables the feature for FCOE as long as the licensing and FC modules are
o
installed.
feature NPIV – enables the ports to accept multiple logins (Necessary for Compellent and
o
multiple devices connected through a PortChannel).
system default switchport trunk mode auto – sets trunk mode to auto for FC ports; optionally
o
this can be set to off, or on if needed.
vlan 20 – this is the VLAN to be used for the Native VLAN.
o
vlan 1000 - this is the VLAN being used for FCoE in this example
o
fcoe vsan 2 – this establishes the previous VLAN 1000 as an FCoE VLAN in VSAN 2.

vsan database – enter into the vsan database interface.
o
 vsan 2 – initializes VSAN 2
vsan 2 interface vfc1 – set interface vfc1 to be part of VSAN 2

vsan 2 interface fc2/15 – set interface fc2/15 to be part of VSAN 2

interface vfc1 – selects virtual fc interface vfc1 (vfc1 is an example and can be a different
o
number based on the admin's choice at configuration time).
bind interface Ethernet1/1 – this binds interface Ethernet 1/1 to the virtual fc

interface which in this case is vfc1. This is one form of binding the VFC. The other form
would be to bind the VFC to the FCoE FIP MAC address of the CNA being used. Examples
of this will be included later in the document.
no shutdown – turns the virtual interface on since default is shutdown.

interface fc2/15 – selects the fc2/15 interface
o
no shutdown – turns the fc2/15 interface on since default is shutdown.

interface Ethernet 1/1 – selects interface Ethernet 1/1
o
switchport mode trunk – set switchport mode to trunk for the 2 VLAN's.

 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1000 – add allowed VLAN 1000 to the trunk.
zone name blade1 vsan 2 – this will set the name for your zone (blade1 can be any chosen
o
name); vsan 2 will match the vsan you have created.
 Member interface fc2/15 - this adds the fc2/15 interface as a member of the zone.
member pwwn xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx – adds the port WWN of the ENode device to

the zone. (insert the port WWN of the device being used).
zoneset name set1 vsan 2 – move into the zoneset interface (in this case the name is set1 but
o
could be any name and the VSAN number is based on the FCoE VLAN being used.
 member blade1 – this includes the blade1 zone into this zoneset.
zoneset activate name set1 vsan 2 – activates the zoneset containing these zones.
