Example:Mapping VSANs to VLANs

The following example shows how to configure the FCoE VLAN and a virtual Fibre Channel interface:

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    Enable the associated VLAN and map the VLAN to a VSAN. For Cisco Nexus 7000, ensure you are in the storage VDC.

2.    Configure the VLAN on a physical Ethernet interface.

3.    Create a virtual Fibre Channel interface and bind it to a physical Ethernet interface. For Cisco Nexus 7000, ensure you are in the storage VDC.

4.    Associate the virtual Fibre Channel interface to the VSAN. For Cisco Nexus 7000, ensure you are in the storage VDC.

5.    (Optional) Display membership information for the VSAN.

6.    (Optional) Display the interface information for the virtual Fibre Channel interface.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 Enable the associated VLAN and map the VLAN to a VSAN. For Cisco Nexus 7000, ensure you are in the storage VDC.

switch(config)# vlan 200
switch(config-vlan)# fcoe vsan 200
switch(config-vlan)# exit
Step 2 Configure the VLAN on a physical Ethernet interface.

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# spanning-tree port type edge trunk
switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,200
switch(config-if)# exit
Step 3 Create a virtual Fibre Channel interface and bind it to a physical Ethernet interface. For Cisco Nexus 7000, ensure you are in the storage VDC.

switch(config)# interface vfc 4
switch(config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/4
Note    By default, all virtual Fibre Channel interfaces reside on VSAN 1. If the VLAN to VSAN mapping is to a VSAN other than VSAN 1, then proceed to Step 4.
Step 4 Associate the virtual Fibre Channel interface to the VSAN. For Cisco Nexus 7000, ensure you are in the storage VDC.

switch(config)# vsan database
switch(config-vsan)# vsan 200 interface vfc 4
switch(config-vsan)# exit
Step 5 (Optional) Display membership information for the VSAN.

switch# show vsan 200 membership
vsan 200 interfaces
           vfc 4







Step 6
(Optional)Display the interface information for the virtual Fibre Channel interface.


switch# show interface vfc 4
