Enabling FCoE

</h1>
<a name="wp1350270"> </a><p class="pBody">
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) provides a method of transporting Fibre Channel traffic over a 
physical Ethernet connection. By default, each Ethernet interface attempts to enable FCoE by advertising 
that it has FCoE to the adapter. If the FCoE negotiation fails, you can configure the Cisco Nexus 5000 
Series switch to disable FCoE for this interface.

</p>
<a name="wp1350277"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> In Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches, FCoE is supported on all 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

Detailed Steps
</h2>
<a name="wp1350279"> </a><p class="pBody">
To enable or disable FCoE features on a switch using Device Manager, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1350283"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Launch Device Manager from the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
</li>
<a name="wp1350284"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> Use the Control tab to enable FCoE on a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.

</p>
<a name="wp1350285"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Choose <b class="cBold">Admin</b>&#160;&gt;&#160;<b class="cBold">Feature Control</b>.
</li>
<a name="wp1350286"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
You see the Feature Control dialog box. 

</p>
<a name="wp1350291"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> You cannot enable FCoE using Device Manager on Cisco Nexus 7000 series and Cisco MDS 900 
family switches. Cisco Nexus 7000 series and Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches uses a feature 
set to display FCoE information.

</p>
<a name="wp1350292"> </a><p class="pBodyRelative">

</p>
<a name="wp1350293"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">In the dialog box, in the table, click the <b class="cBold">fcoe_mgr</b> row, and then click the <b class="cBold">Action</b> cell in the fcoe_mgr 
row. From the drop-down list, choose <b class="cBold">enable</b> to enable the FCoE feature in the switch.
</li>
<a name="wp1350294"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> You can also disable the FCoE feature in the switch. To do so, from the drop-down list in the 
Action column, choose <b class="cBold">disable</b>.

</p>
<a name="wp1350295"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">Apply</b>.
</li>
<a name="wp1350299"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> If the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch is running a Cisco NX-OS release prior to Release 4.2(1), 
you must do the following after you enable or disable FCoE on the switch:<br />
&#160;•&#160;In the confirmation dialog box that appears, click <b class="cBold">Yes</b> to enable the FCoE feature in the 
&#160;&#160;switch.<br />
&#160;•&#160;Reboot the switch before you use the FCoE feature.
