Configuring Virtual Interfaces; Mapping A Vsan To A Vlan - Cisco Nexus 7000 series Configuration Manual

Configuring FCoE VLANs and Virtual Interfaces

Configuring Virtual Interfaces

Mapping a VSAN to a VLAN

A unique, dedicated VLAN must be configured at every converged access switch to carry traffic for each
virtual fabric (VSAN) in the SAN (for example, VLAN 1002 for VSAN 10, VLAN 1003 for VSAN 2, and
so on). If you enable MST, you must use a separate Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) instance for FCoE VLANs.
You must exit VLAN mode to execute the configured commands on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches.
Note
Before You Begin
• Ensure you have installed the correct license for FCoE.
• Ensure you have enabled FCoE.
• For Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches, ensure that you are in the storage VDC.
