40
Step by step explanation of CLI example (only covering the differences from the single port
configuration)
o interface port-channel1
 switchport mode trunk -
 switchport trunk native vlan 20
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1000
1000
o interface vfc1 – selects virtual fc interface vfc1 (vfc1 is an example and can be a different number
based on choice at configuration time)
 bind interface port-channel1 – this binds interface port-channel1 to the virtual fc interface
which in this case is vfc1.
 no shutdown – turns the virtual interface on since default is shutdown.
o interface Ethernet 1/1 – selects interface Ethernet 1/1.
 switchport mode trunk – set switchport mode to trunk for the 2 VLAN’s.
 switchport trunk native vlan 20 – add native VLAN 20 to the trunk.
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1000 – add allowed VLAN 1000 to the trunk.
 channel-group 1 mode active – this interface is part of a port channel 1.
o interface Ethernet 1/2 – selects interface Ethernet ½.
 switchport mode trunk – set switchport mode to trunk for the 2 VLAN’s.
 switchport trunk native vlan 20 – add native VLAN 20 to the trunk.
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1000 – add allowed VLAN 1000 to the trunk.
 channel-group 1 mode active – this interface is part of port channel 1.
o zone name blade1 vsan 2 – this will set the name for your zone (blade1 can be any chosen name),
vsan 2 will match the vsan you have created.
 member interface fc2/15 - this adds the fc2/15 interface as a member of the zone.
 member pwwn xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx – adds the port WWN of the ENode device to the zone
(this should match the CNA of the server being used, in this case blade 2).
o zone name blade2 vsan 2 – this will set the name for your zone (blade1 can be any chosen name),
vsan 2 will match the vsan you have created.
 member interface fc2/16 - this adds the fc2/16 interface as a member of the zone.
 member pwwn xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx – adds the port WWN of the ENode device to the zone
(this should match the CNA of the server being used, in this case blade 2).
o zoneset name set1 vsan 2 – move into the zoneset interface (in this case the name is set1 but
could be any name and the VSAN number is based on the FCoE VLAN being used.
o member blade1 – this includes the blade1 zone into this zoneset
o member blade2 – this includes the blade2 zone into this zoneset
o zoneset activate name set1 vsan 2 – activates the zoneset containing these zones.
