Single Hop FCoE Topology This is assuming that you have an investment in Fibre Channel environment and you want to start at the Servers to migrate to 10GE CNA adapters and still maintain your Fibre Channel network. This kind of design will allow you to migrate to FCoE in a phased approach. MultiHop FCoE Topology MultiHop FCoE Configuration.....

You'll need to take this pre-defined policy and activate it. conf t system qos service-policy type network-qos default-nq-7e-policy You can activate on any of the nondrop CoS classes show class-map type network-qos Once the VDC is up (verify with the "show vdc") you can allocate ports to it. conf t no vdc combined-hostname vdc N7K1_SAN allocate interface e2/3 - 6 confirm yes allocate fcoe-vlan-range 1002 1099 from vdcx N7K1-1 end switchto vdc N7K1-SAN username admim password ccie01dc0 username admin role vdc-admin feature telnet int mgmt 0 ip address 192.168.0.72/24 no shut exit vlan 1010 vsan database vsan 1010 fcoe vsan 1010 (combining VSAN and VLAN 1010) feature lacp int e2/5 -6 channel-group 10 mode active int po10 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 1010 int vfc 10 bind interface po10 switchport allowed vsan 1010 switchport mode e int po10 no shut int e2/5- 6 no shut MDS1 show int brief | ex sfpAb You can see form this example that fc1/17 - 18 are up to the JBOD and the FL (loop) and in VSAN 1010 show flogi database N5K1 zone mode enhanced vsan 1010 conf t int fc1/27 - 28 no shut vsan database vsan 1010 show fcns database vsan 1010 This example now show that you have connectivity to the fabric and can see the target disks in the JBOD N5K2 con t vsan database vsan 1010 vlan 1010 fcoe vsan 1010 int e1/17 shutdown (enable after all other configurations) switchport mode trunk spanning-tree port type edge trunk switchport port trunk allowed vlan 10,1010 switchport trunk native vlan 10 (access vlan) int vfc117 bind interface e1/17 switchport trunk allowed van 1010 no shut vsan database vsan 1010 interface vfc117 int e1/17 no shut show flogi database conf t feature lacp int e1/10 - 11 channel-group 10 mode active int port10 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 1010 (only storage traffic) int vfc 10 bind interface port-channel 10 switchport funk allowed vsan 1010 switchport mode e no shut int e1/10 - 11 no shut show int brief show vfc 10 N7K1-SAN show port-channel summary N5K2 show int vfc 10 No we can verify with FCNS that it can see server1 FCID and PWWN N7K1-SAN show fcns database N5K1 feature lacp ! vlan 1010 fcoe vsan 1010 vsan database vsan 1010 ! interface port-channel20 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 1010 ! interface vfc20 bind interface port-channel20 switchport mode e switchport trunk allowed vsan 1010 no shutdown ! interface Ethernet1/8 shut switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 1010 channel-group 20 mode active ! interface Ethernet1/9 shut switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 1010 channel-group 20 mode active N7K1-SAN (To N5K1) conf t zone mode enhanced vsan 1010 ! interface port-channel20 description TO N5K1 FCoE switchport switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 1010 ! interface vfc20 bind interface port-channel20 switchport mode e switchport trunk allowed vsan 1010 no shut ! interface Ethernet2/3 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 1010 channel-group 20 mode active ! interface Ethernet2/4 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 1010 channel-group 20 mode active Bring up N5K1 e1/8 - 9 no shut N7K1-SAN show interface brief From the output you can see the vfc 10 and 20 are turning and VTE portsshow fcns database You can see all the disks from MDS1 in the Fibre Channel networkFCoE NPV Configuration FCoE NPV Topology N5K2 conf t feature npv save and reload yes conf t vsan database vsan 1010 vlan 1010 fcoe vsan 1010 exit int e1/17 switchport mode trunk spanning-tree port type edge trunk switchport trunk all vlan 10,1010 switchport trunk native valan 10 int vfc117 bind interface e1/17 vsan database vsan 1010 interface vfc117 int vfc117 no shut int e1/17 no shut feature lacp int e1/10 - 11 channel-group 10 mode active int po10 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan 1010 int vfc10 bind inter port-channel 10 switchport mode np switchport trunk allowed vsan 1010 no shut N7K1-1 switchto vdc N7K1-SAN conf t int vfc10 switchport mode f feature npiv (NPV Core Switch) Port-Channel 10 was already created |
