no enodes-config

Operands

global

The value set by the fcoe-enodes command on all nodes in the cluster is
changed on all RBridges in the cluster to the maximum of all values set by
the fcoe-enodes command. (Refer to the Usage Guidelines.)

local

Refer to the Usage Guidelines.

Defaults

The default is local.

Command Modes

RBridge ID configuration mode, fabric map configuration mode

Description

Use this command to configure the number of FCoE interfaces to be created on ENodes.

Usage Guidelines

In previous Network OS releases, the number of Virtual Fabric ports was configured globally on all
switches in a VCS cluster.

With the option set to global, the value set by the fcoe-enodes command on all nodes in the cluster
is changed on all RBridges in the cluster to the maximum of all values set by the fcoe-enodes
command. The number of additional FCoE interfaces created is the difference between the value
set by the max-enodes command and the value set by the fcoe-enodes command. The value of
max-enodes is set to the maximum of the value set by the fcoe-enodes command, with a default of
256.

The option must be set to global for the system to downgrade from Network OS v4.1.0 or later to
Network OS v4.0.0. The values set by the max-enodes command or the fcoe-enodes command are
not modified; once the global option is executed, you cannot modify the value of fcoe-enodes in an
RBridge context, or the value of max-enodes in a global context.

Following an upgrade to Network OS v4.1.0, the default is set to local. With the option set to local,
a downgrade is not allowed.

Use the no form of this command to restore the default.

Examples

To configure the device to enable a downgrade to the previous Network OS release, execute the
fabric-map default command in RBridge ID configuration mode, then issue the enodes-config
global command:

switch(config)# rbridge-id 10

switch(config-rbridge-id-10)# fabric-map default

switch(config-rbridge-id-10-fcoe-fabric-map)# enodes-config global

To return to the default setting, issue either of the following commands:

switch(config-rbridge-id-10)# no enodes-config

switch(config-rbridge-id-10)# enodes-config local
