Creating a Virtual Fibre Channel Interface
You can create a virtual Fibre Channel interface. You must bind the virtual Fibre Channel interface to a
physical interface before it can be used.

4094.
Enters VLAN configuration mode. The VLAN number range
is from 1 to 4096.
Enables FCoE for the specified VLAN and configures the
mapping from this VLAN to the specified VSAN. If you do
