Parameters
fcf: Specifies the FCF mode.
fcf-npv: Specifies the FCF-NPV mode.
npv: Specifies the NPV mode.
transit: Specifies the Transit mode.
Usage guidelines
An FC and FCoE-capable switch can operate in non -FCoE mode or in one of the following FCoE modes:
• FCF mode—When the switch operates in this mode, it is an FCF switch and supports E_Ports and
F_Ports. An FCF switch can connect to the following elements:
{ An E_Port on another FCF switch through its E_Port.
{ An N_Port or NP_Port through its F_Port.
Examples
• NPV mode—When the switch operates in this mode, it is an NPV switch and supports F_Ports and
NP_Ports. An NPV switch can connect to the following elements:
{ An N_Port or NP_Port through its F_Port.
{ An F_Port through its NP_Port.
• FCF-NPV mode—When the switch operates in this mode, it is an FCF-NPV switch. A VSAN on an
FCF-NPV switch can operate in either of the following modes:
{ FCF mode—When a VSAN operates in this mode, the VSAN acts as an FCF switch.
{ NPV mode—When a VSAN operates in this mode, the VSAN acts as an NPV switch.
• Transit mode—When the switch operates in this mode, it is a Transit switch.
You can configure Ethernet interfaces on a Transit switch to operate in ENode or FCF mode. The
ENode mode allows an Ethernet interface to receive traffic from only an ENode. The FCF mode
allows an Ethernet interface to receive traffic from only an FCF switch.
The switch can only convert from non-FCoE mode to one FCoE mode, or vice versa. It cannot convert
directly among FCoE modes. To convert among FCoE modes, first convert the switch to non-FCoE mode.
After converting the switch to non-FCoE mode, FC and FCoE-related settings in the original FCoE mode
are cleared.
# Configure the switch to operate in FCF mode.

bind interface
Use bind interface to bind a VFC interface to an Ethernet interface. The Ethernet interfaces in this
command refer to Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces, Layer 2 aggregate interfaces, S-channel interfaces, and
S-channel aggregate interfaces.
Use undo bind interface to remove the binding.
Syntax

Parameters
interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. The interface type can
only be one of the following:
• Layer 2 Ethernet interface.
• Layer 2 aggregate interface.
• S-channel interface.
• S-channel aggregate interface.
mac mac-address: Specifies the bound peer FCoE MAC address, in the format of XXXX-XXXX-XXXX and
six bytes in length.
Usage guidelines
To make a VFC interface work, bind it to a Ethernet interface. The VFC interface then sends and receives
packets through the Ethernet interface.
To use one physical link to carry multiple VFC interfaces, you must bind these VFC interfaces to different
peer FCoE MAC addresses. However, you can bind them to one Ethernet interface. The FCoE MAC
address identifies the device that communicates with a VFC interface. For a point-to-multipoint network,
the FCoE MAC address is required. For a point-to-point network, the FCoE MAC address is optional.
You can use the display fcoe command to display the FCoE MAC address of a switch. You can display
the FCoE MAC address of an ENode through some software or the NMS.
A VFC interface can be bound to only one Ethernet interface and one FCoE MAC address.
An Ethernet interface can be bound to multiple VFC interfaces, but an FCoE MAC address can be bound
to only one VFC interface.
To successfully bind a VFC interface to a Layer 2 Ethernet interface, make sure the Layer 2 Ethernet
interface is FCoE capable.
When you bind a VFC interface to a Layer 2 aggregate interface, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
• To successfully bind a VFC interface to a Layer 2 aggregate interface, make sure all member ports
of the Layer 2 aggregate interface are FCoE capable. Also, make sure new member ports of the
Layer 2 aggregate interface are FCoE capable. Otherwise, FCoE traffic might be blocked.
• The binding to a Layer 2 aggregate interface does not take effect when you perform the following
tasks:
{ Bind one VFC interface to the Layer 2 aggregate interface.
{ Bind another VFC interface to a member port of the Layer 2 aggregate interface.
Enabling EVB on a Layer 2 Ethernet interface or Layer 2 aggregate interface disables the interface from
forwarding FCoE traffic. To enable such an interface to forward FCoE traffic, you must create an
S-channel interface or S-channel aggregate interface and bind a VFC interface to the created interface.
4
When you bind a VFC interface to an S-channel interface or S-channel aggregate interface, follow these
restrictions and guidelines:
• To successfully bind a VFC interface to an S-channel interface or S-channel aggregate interface,
make sure the switch is operating in expert mode. For information about system operating modes,
see Fundamentals Configuration Guide. For information about S-channel interfaces and S-channel
aggregate interfaces, see EVB Configuration Guide.
• To successfully bind a VFC interface to an S-channel interface, make sure the Layer 2 Ethernet
interface associated with the S-channel interface has FCoE over S-channel capabilities. For
FCoE-capable cards and cards that have FCoE over S-channel capabilities, see the product
manual.
• To successfully bind a VFC interface to an S-channel aggregate interface, make sure all member
ports of the Layer 2 Ethernet aggregate interface associated with the S-channel aggregate interface
have FCoE over S-channel capabilities. Also, make sure new member ports of the Layer 2 Ethernet
aggregate interface have FCoE over S-channel capabilities. Otherwise, FCoE traffic might be
blocked. For FCoE-capable cards and cards that have FCoE over S-channel capabilities, see the
product manual.
• The binding to an S-channel aggregate interface does not take effect when you perform the
following tasks:
{ Bind one VFC interface to the S-channel aggregate interface.
{ Bind another VFC interface to a member port of the Layer 2 aggregate interface associated
with the S-channel aggregate interface.
Examples
• FCoE over S-channel can be used only between an EVB-capable switch and a server.

Parameters
vsan vsan-id: Specifies a VSAN by its ID in the range of 1 to 3839. If you do not specify a VSAN, this
command maps the VLAN to a VSAN with the same number as the VLAN. For VLANs 3840 to 4094,
you must manually specify VSANs to be mapped.
Usage guidelines
FCoE cannot be enabled in VLAN 1.
Do not enable FCoE in a reserved VLAN. If you enable FCoE in a reserved VLAN, the VFC interfaces
assigned to the mapped VSAN as trunk ports cannot come up. For more information about reserved
VLANs, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Command Reference.
VSANs are mapped to VLANs on a one-to-one basis.
An FCoE-enabled VLAN allows only FCoE traffic. All member ports in an FCoE-enabled VLAN are
isolated and will not form loops. To prevent FCoE links from being blocked, do not enable STP or other
loop detection protocols in an FCoE-enabled VLAN. A Layer 2 protocol enabled in an FCoE-enabled
VLAN runs based on the topology where all member ports in the VLAN are isolated at Layer 2.
When you use a VFC interface to transmit packets, the Ethernet interface bound to the VFC interface
might allow multiple VLANs. You must enable FCoE in the same VLAN and map the VLAN to the same
VSAN on both ends. Then, the packets from the VSAN are tagged with the VLAN tag and transmitted
within the VLAN.

can set an FC-MAP value only in VLAN view.
An FC-MAP value identifies an FCoE network. Switches in the same FCoE network must have the same
FC-MAP value.
After an FC-MAP value is set, VFC interfaces perform a FIP renegotiation.
Examples
# Set the FC-MAP value to 0x0EFCFF on an FCF or NPV switch.

Parameters
fka-adv-period: Specifies an FKA advertisement interval in the range of 4 to 600 seconds.
Usage guidelines
On FCF or NPV switches, you can set an FKA advertisement interval value only in system view. On
FCF-NPV switches, you can set an FKA advertisement interval value only in VLAN view.
The FKA advertisement interval determines the length of time the switch takes to detect the disconnection
of a virtual link.
The FKA advertisement interval defines the interval for a switch to send unsolicited Discovery
Advertisements to its peer switches or ENodes.
A switch uses the following process to maintain the virtual link established with a peer switch:
17
1. The switch sends unsolicited Discovery Advertisements every FKA advertisement interval out of its
VFC interfaces in E mode.
The FKA advertisement interval value is carried in unsolicited Discovery Advertisements.
2. After receiving an unsolicited Discovery Advertisement, the peer switch maintains the status of the
virtual link and records the FKA advertisement interval value.
If the peer switch fails to receive an unsolicited Discovery Advertisement within 2.5 FKA
advertisement intervals, it deletes the virtual link.
A switch uses the following process to maintain the virtual link established with a peer ENode:
1. The switch sends unsolicited Discovery Advertisements every FKA advertisement interval out of its
VFC interfaces in F mode.
The FKA advertisement interval value is carried in unsolicited Discovery Advertisements.
2. After receiving an unsolicited Discovery Advertisement, the peer ENode maintains the status of the
virtual link and records the FKA advertisement interval value.
If the peer ENode fails to receive an unsolicited Discovery Advertisement within 2.5 FKA
advertisement intervals, it deletes the virtual link.
In addition, the ENode sends keepalive frames to the switch every FKA advertisement interval value. This
value is obtained from unsolicited Discovery Advertisements received from the switch. After receiving a
keepalive frame, the switch maintains the status of the virtual link. If the switch fails to receive a keepalive
frame within 2.5 FKA advertisement intervals, it deletes the virtual link.
Examples
When setting the FKA advertisement interval value on an FCF or NPV switch, use Table 8 a
to avoid service disruption.
Table 8 Recommended values for different application scenarios

switchover on an NPV switch, you must also adjust the
FKA advertisement interval value on the upstream FCF
switch. This is because the FKA advertisement interval
value set on the NPV switch affects only its VFC
interfaces in F mode and connected ENodes, and its
VFC interfaces in NP mode use the FKA advertisement
interval value learned from the upstream FCF switch.

Parameters
vsan-id: Specifies a VSAN by its ID in the range of 1 to 3839. If you do not specify a VSAN, this
command displays the status of each VSAN.
Usage guidelines
Only FCF-NPV switches support this command.
Examples
# Display the status of each VSAN.
<Sysname> display vsan status
VSAN 1:
Name: VSAN0001
Working mode: NPV
VSAN 10:
Name: VSAN0010
Working mode: NPV

port trunk vsan
Use port trunk vsan to assign an interface to the specified VSANs as a trunk port, so that the port allows
traffic from the specified VSANs to pass through.
Use undo port trunk vsan to remove an interface from the specified VSANs.
Syntax
port trunk vsan vsan-id-list
undo port trunk vsan vsan-id-list
Default
A VFC interface does not belong to any VSANs as a trunk port.

Parameters
vsan-id-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 10 VSAN items. Each item specifies a VSAN ID or
a range of VSAN IDs in the format of vsan-id1 to vsan-id2. The value range for the vsan-id argument is
1 to 3839. The value for vsan-id2 must be greater than or equal to the value for vsan-id1.
Usage guidelines
HP recommends not including both FCF-mode VSANs and NPV-mode VSANs on an FCF-NPV switch in
a VSAN list. If you do so, the following events occur during trunk mode negotiation:
• An E_Port selects only FCF-mode VSANs.

• An NP_Port selects only NPV-mode VSANs.
# Assign interface VFC 1 to VSANs 1, 2, 10, and 20 through 100.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vfc 1
[Sysname-Vfc1] port trunk vsan 1 to 2 10 20 to 100
Use vsan to create a VSAN and enter VSAN view. If the VSAN already exists, the command directly
leads you to VSAN view.
Use undo vsan to delete a VSAN.
vsan vsan-id [ name vsan-name ]
undo vsan vsan-id [ name ]
The default VSAN (VSAN 1) exists.

Parameters
vsan vsan-id: Specifies a VSAN by its ID in the range of 1 to 3839.
name vsan-name: Specifies the name of the VSAN, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 32 characters. The
name must start with a letter and can contain letters, numbers, and special symbols in Table 9.

Caret ^
Dollar sign $
Minus sign -
Underscore _
If you do not specify a VSAN name, the default VSAN name is VSAN plus a four-digit VSAN ID. For
example, the default VSAN name of VSAN 10 is VSAN0010.
Usage guidelines
mbol
You cannot delete VSAN 1.
The maximum number of VSANs (including the default VSAN 1) that can be created is 16.
If you specify the name keyword, the undo vsan command restores the VSAN name to its default. If you
do not specify the name keyword, the undo vsan command deletes the VSAN.

Examples
# Create VSAN 10 and enter its view.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] vsan 10
[Sysname-vsan10]
# Change the name of VSAN 10 from its default to FCF-VSAN.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] vsan 10 name FCF-VSAN
[Sysname-vsan10]
# Create VSAN 11 with a name of FCF-VSAN, and enter the view of VSAN 11.
<Sysname> system-view

working-mode
Use working-mode to configure the operating mode for a VSAN.
Use undo working-mode to restore the default.
Syntax
working-mode { fcf | npv }
undo working-mode
Default
The operating mode of a VSAN is NPV.
Views
VSAN view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
fcf: Specifies the FCF mode.
npv: Specifies the NPV mode
Usage guidelines
Only FCF-NPV switches support this command.
23
A VSAN operating in FCF mode acts as an FCF switch. A VSAN operating in NPV mode acts as an NPV
switch.
If the configured mode of an interface is not supported by a VSAN of the interface, the mode does not
take effect in the VSAN.
Examples
# Configure the operating mode as NPV for VSAN 10.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] vsan 10
[Sysname-vsan10] working-mode fcf

allowed-domain-id
Use allowed-domain-id to configure an allowed domain ID list for a VSAN.
Use undo allowed-domain-id to restore the default.
Syntax
allowed-domain-id domain-id-list
undo allowed-domain-id domain-id-list
Default
The allowed domain ID list includes domain IDs 1 to 239.
Views
VSAN view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
domain-id-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 8 domain items. Each item specifies a domain ID
or a range of domain IDs in the format of domain-id1 to domain-id2. The value for domain-id2 must be
greater than or equal to the value for domain-id1. The value range for the domain-id argument is 1 to
239.
Usage guidelines
Only FCF switches and VSANs operating in FCF mode support this command.
To successfully configure an allowed domain ID list on the principal switch, make sure all assigned and
locally configured domain IDs are included in the list. After you configure an allowed domain ID list, the
principal switch assigns only domain IDs available in the allowed list.
24
To successfully configure an allowed domain ID list on a non-principal switch, make sure the runtime
domain ID of the switch is included in the allowed list. After you configure an allowed domain ID list on
a non-principal switch, the following rules apply:
• The locally configured domain ID must be included in the allowed list. Otherwise, the domain ID
configuration fails.
• The principal switch must assign a domain ID that is included in the allowed list of the non-principal
switch. Otherwise, the non-principal switch refuses the assigned domain ID and isolates its interface
connected to the principal switch.
HP recommends that you configure the same allowed domain ID list on all switches in a VSAN.
Examples
# Configure VSAN 1 to allow domains 3 through 10.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] vsan 1
[Sysname-vsan1] allowed-domain-id 3 to 10
display fc domain
Use display fc domain to display the domain information of VSANs.

Parameters
vsan vsan-id: Specifies a VSAN by its ID in the range of 1 to 3839. If you do not specify a VSAN, this
command displays the domain information of all VSANs. On an FCF-NPV switch, this command displays
the domain information of only VSANs operating in FCF mode.
Usage guidelines
Only FCF and FCF-NPV switches support this command.
The displayed domain information includes runtime and configuration information of the local switch and
runtime information of the principal switch.
Examples
# Display the domain information of VSAN 1.
<Sysname> display fc domain vsan 1
