installed.

o slot 2 – enter into the slot 2 configuration

o port 15-16 type fc – at slot 2 port 15-16 set the unified ports to be type FC

o vlan 20 – this is the VLAN to be used for the Native VLAN.

 vsan 2 interface vfc1 – set interface vfc1 to be part of VSAN 2

 vsan 2 interface fc2/15 – set interface fc2/15 to be part of VSAN 2

o interface vfc1 – selects virtual fc interface vfc1 (vfc1 is an example and can be a different

number based on the admin’s choice at configuration time).

 bind interface port-channel20– this binds interface Ethernet 1/1 to the virtual fc

interface which in this case is vfc1. This is one form of binding the VFC. The other form

would be to bind the VFC to the FCoE FIP MAC address of the CNA being used. Examples

of this will be included later in the document.

 member pwwn xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx – adds the port WWN of the ENode device to

the zone. (insert the port WWN of the device being used).

o zoneset name set1 vsan 2 – move into the zoneset interface (in this case the name is set1 but
