Usage Guidelines

Fabric binding is configured on a per-VSAN basis. In a Fibre Channel VSAN, only the switch world wide name (sWWN) is required; the domain ID is optional.

A user-specified fabric binding list contains a list of switch WWNs (sWWNs) within a fabric. If an sWWN attempts to join the fabric and that sWWN is not on the list, or the sWWN is using a domain ID that differs from the one specified in the allowed list, the Inter Switch Link between the switch and the fabric is automatically isolated in that VSAN and the switch is denied entry into the fabric.

This command requires the FCoE license.

Examples

This example shows how to enter the fabric binding database mode and add the sWWN and domain ID of a switch to the configured database list:

switch(config)# fabric-binding database vsan 5

switch(config-fabric-binding)# swwn 21:00:05:30:23:11:11:11 domain 102

switch(config-fabric-binding)#

Modification

5.2(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Fibre Channel standards require a unique FC ID to be allocated to an N port attached to a Fx port in any switch. To conserve the number of FCIDs used, Cisco NX-OS switches use a special allocation scheme.

Some Host Bust Adaptors (HBAs) do not discover targets that have FC IDs with the same domain and area. The switch software maintains a list of tested company IDs that do not exhibit this behavior. These HBAs were allocated with single FC ID for other HBAs, a full area was allocated.

To allow further scalability for switches with numerous ports, the switch software maintains a list of HBAs that exhibit this behavior. Each HBA is identified by its company ID (also known as an Organizational Unique Identifier, or OUI) used in the pWWN during a fabric login. A full area is allocated to the N ports with company IDs that are listed and for the others, a single FCID is allocated. Regardless of the type (whole area or single) of FCID allocated, the FCID entries remain persistent.

This command requires the FCoE license.

Examples

This example shows how to add a new company FCID to the default area company ID list:

switch(config)# fcid-allocation area company-id 0x003223

Modification

5.2(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You disable the trunking protocol on a switch, no port on that switch can apply new trunk configurations. Existing trunk configurations are not affected, and the TE port continues to function in trunking mode, but only supports traffic in Virtual SANs (VSANs) that it negotiated previously (when the trunking protocol was enabled). Also, other switches that are directly connected to this switch are similarly affected on the connected interfaces. In some cases, you may need to merge traffic from different port VSANs across a nontrunking Inter-Switch Link (ISL). Before you merge traffic, you must disable the trunking protocol.

This command requires the FCoE license.

Examples

This example shows how to disable the trunk protocol feature:

switch(config)# no trunk protocol enable

Command History

Release

Modification

5.2(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, change to the VSAN database mode.

The interface range must be in ascending order and nonoverlapping. You can specify a range using a hyphen and several interfaces using commas:

- The interface range format for a Virtual Fibre Channel interface range is

fcslot/port - port , fcslot/port , fcslot/port:

For example, show int fc2/1 - 3 , fc2/4 , fc3/2

- The format for a SAN port channel is

san-port-channel portchannel-number.subinterface-number:

For example, show int san-port-channel 5.1

There are four interop modes:

- Interop mode 1 — Standard-based interop mode that requires all other vendors in the fabric to be in interop mode.

- Interop mode 2 — Brocade native mode (Core PID 0).

- Interop mode 3 — Brocade native mode (Core PID 1).

- Interop mode 4 — McData native mode. Before you configure Interop mode 4 (or remove the configuration), you must suspend the VSAN. You should unsuspend the VSAN only after you configure a VSAN-dependent switch WWN with the McData Organisational Unit Identifier (OUI) [08:00:88].

The no form of the vsan vsan-id interface command is not supported. To remove a VSAN membership of an interface (for example, interface fc1/8 from VSAN 7), you must assign the interface to another VSAN. The best practice is to assign the interface back to the default VSAN (VSAN 1).

This command requires the FCoE license.

Examples

This example shows how to create multiple fabrics sharing the same physical infrastructure and how to assign ports to VSANs:

switch(config)# vsan database

switch-config-vsan-db# vsan 2

switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 2 name TechDoc

switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 2 loadbalancing src-dst-id

switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 2 suspend

switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan 2 suspend

switch(config-vsan-db)# end

This example shows how to suspend a VSAN and enable Interop mode 4:

switch(config)# vsan database

switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 100 suspend

switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 100 interop 4

switch(config-vsan-db)# exit

Before using the zone mode enhanced command, verify that all switches in the fabric are capable of working in enhanced zoning mode. If one or more switches are not capable of working in enhanced zoning mode, the request to enable enhanced zoning mode is rejected.

When the zone mode enhanced vsan command completes successfully, the software automatically starts a session, distributes the zoning database using the enhanced zoning data structures, applies the configuration changes, and sends a Release Change Authorization (RCA) to all switches in the fabric. All switches in the fabric then enable enhanced zoning mode.

This command requires the FCoE license.

Examples

This example shows how to enable enhanced zoning mode for VSAN 10:
