Information About Fibre Channel Interfaces
Licensing Requirements for Fibre Channel
On Cisco Nexus devices, Fibre Channel capability is included in the Storage Protocol Services license.
Ensure that you have the correct license installed (N5010SS or N5020SS) before using Fibre Channel interfaces
and capabilities.
You can configure virtual Fibre Channel interfaces without a Storage Protocol Services license, but these
interfaces will not become operational until the license is activated.
Note
QOS Requirements for Fibre Channel
The FCoE QoS must be configured if the following types of interfaces are in use:
•
Native FC - for FC
•
FCoE - for vFC
•
FC and FCoE - for FC and vFC
The FCoE QoS must be added even if Ethernet is not configured on the switch.
