Virtual Interfaces
When FCoE is enabled, a physical Ethernet cable carries traffic for a logical Fibre Channel connection.
The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch uses virtual interfaces to represent the logical Fibre Channel
connections. For configuration purposes, virtual Fibre Channel interfaces are implemented as Layer 2
subinterfaces of the physical Ethernet interface.
Ethernet features (such as link debounce timer and VLAN membership) are configured on the physical
Ethernet interface. Logical Fibre Channel features (such as VSAN membership) are configured on the
virtual Fibre Channel interfaces.
