3. Create a new VLAN for FCoE.
By default, all ports are in VLAN 1, however, you must use a different VLAN for FCoE. In the
following example, VLAN 200 is created with access to Ethernet ports 1/1 to 1/20, and VFC
ports 1–20 are also created.
NOTE:
In the last section of this example, 1/1-20 indicates that the commands that follow apply
to multiple ports (in this case, ports 1/1 through 1/20). All 20 ports are set for switchport
mode trunk, and switchport trunk allowed is set for VLANs 1 and 200.

Nexus5010(config-if-range)# interface vfc 1-20
Nexus5010(config-if-range)# exit

This command allows the port to access the FCoE VLAN (VLAN 200 in this example). For
non-FCoE ports, you can omit the FCoE VLAN from this command; however, both FCoE and
non-FCoE ports might require access to other VLANs.
