Managing SAN Devices and Multipathing in Oracle^® Solaris 11.3

Verifying and Configuring an FCoE Switch

You can verify the configuration on a switch. For example, on a Brocade switch, you can use the following commands to verify the configuration:

• Use the show cee maps command to check if DCBX is enabled.

  switch1:root>cmsh
  switch1# show cee maps

• Use the show vlan brief command to check if the VLAN is enabled on the port.

  switch1# show vlan brief

• Use the show lldp neighbors interface command to check the DCBX information on the switch.

  switch1# show lldp neighbors interface

How to Change the Configured Port

This procedure provides an example of changing the configured port when the current port is not online.

1. Check for the configured port.

   switch1# show running-config
   ...
   !
   interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/11
    mtu 9208
    switchport
    switchport mode converged
    switchport converged allowed vlan add 1002
    no shutdown
    cee default
   !

2. Change the port.

   switch1# configure terminal
   switch1(config)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/11
   switch1(conf-if-te-0/11)# switchport
   switch1(conf-if-te-0/11)# vlan classifier activate group 1 vlan 10002

3. Ensure that the port is updated.

   switch1# show running-config
   ...
   !
   interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/11
    mtu 9208
    switchport
    switchport mode converged
    switchport converged allowed vlan add 1002
    vlan classifier activate group 1 vlan 1002
    no shutdown
    cee default
   ...

   ---

   Note -  The switch must have the line vlan classifier activate group 1 vlan 1002. It enables the VLAN ID 1002 in the VLAN group.

   ---

4. Display the configuration information.

   switch1:root> fcoe --cfgshow
   User Port Status     Port WWN               DeviceCount  Port  Type   MAC                VF_ID
   =====================================================================================================
   ...
   19        ENABLED   20:13:00:05:1e:b0:1c:80     1        FCoE  VF-Port  00:05:1e:b0:1c:8b  128
   ...

   In this example, 19 corresponds to the 0/11 port.
