Overview
This chapter describes how to configure Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged
Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) properties on the switch using CLI commands. For detailed information
about all the CEE CLI commands, refer to the Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command Reference
Supporting Fabric OS v6.4.0 (53-1001762-01).
All of the CLI commands are entered using the Telnet or console interface on the Brocade FCoE
hardware.
End to End FCoE using FC ISLs
Support for end-to-end FCoE is achieved through FC ISLs, allowing FCoE traffic to be carried across
multiple FC ISL hops, eventually terminating in FC or FCoE storage.
