FC and FCoE configuration guidelines
Installing a license
To use FC and FCoE, you must install a valid license. For more information about licenses, see
Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Configuring the switch to operate in advanced
mode
The switch supports FC and FCoE only when it is operating in advanced mode. For more information
about system operating modes, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Configuring the FCoE mode
FCoE modes include the FCF mode, the NPV mode, and the Transit mode. An FC or FCoE-capable switch
can operate in the FCF mode, NPV mode, Transit mode, or non-FCoE mode.
To configure a switch operating in an FCoE mode to operate in another FCoE mode, follow these steps:
1. Configure the switch to operate in the non-FCoE mode.
2. Configure the switch to operate in the target FCoE mode.
After you configure the switch to operate in non-FCoE mode, FCoE-related configurations in the original
FCoE mode are cleared.
To configure an FCoE mode for a switch:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Configure an FCoE mode
for the switch. fcoe-mode { fcf | npv |
transit }
By default, a switch operates in non-FCoE
mode.
Before configuring FC and FCoE features
on a switch, you must configure an FCoE
mode for the switch.
For the switch to successfully receive and
send FCoE frames, make sure the switch
has sufficient ACL resources. You can use
the display qos-acl resource command and
the undo acl command to display and
release ACL resources, respectively (see
ACL and QoS Command Reference).
3. Display the FCoE mode of
the switch.
