Fabric-Id Vlan - Dell MXL 10GbE Reference Manual

gateway so that they appear to downstream server CNA ports as FCoE forwarder
(FCF) ports on an FCoE network. When applied to FC and Ethernet ports on an
NPIV proxy gateway, an FCoE map allows the switch to operate as an FCoE-FC
bridge between an FC SAN and an FCoE network by providing FCoE-enabled
servers and switches with the necessary parameters to log in to a SAN fabric. Use
the fcoe-map command to create an FCoE map.
On an M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO module
NPIV proxy gateway, you cannot apply an FCoE map on fabric-facing FC ports and
server-facing Ethernet ports.
After you apply an FCoE map on an FC interface, when the port is enabled (no
shutdown), the NPIV proxy gateway starts sending FIP multicast advertisements on
behalf of the FC port to downstream servers in order to advertise the availability of
a new FCF port on the FCoE VLAN.
To remove an FCoE map from an FC interface, enter the no fabric map-name
command in Interface configuration mode.

In an FCoE map, configure the association between the dedicated VLAN used to carry FCoE traffic
between servers and a SAN, and the fabric where the desired storage arrays are installed.
