   Caution - The Brocade 8000 Series switch is not designed for multi-hop FCoE. Thus, if you use an ExpressModule, the switch works only in the pass-through mode.

2. Set the mode for the switch.

   # configure terminal
   # interface tengigabitethernet 1/3
   # switchport
   # switchport mode converged

   For the configure terminal command to function properly, you must have already executed the cmsh command.

3. Activate the VLAN.

   # vlan classifier activate group 1 vlan 101
   # no shutdown
   # cee default
   # exit
