N5500 configured for FC

[Jignesh Desai]

I'm new to the SAN/FC technology.  I have a 5548UP which will have 2 NetApp filers and a couple of servers with FC cards connected to it.  No FC traffic will leave this 5548 switch as we are just running FC to backup SAN data.  I have the storage license installed on the 5548.  I don't have an expansion card, so am using ports 28-32 as FC ports.  I configured the switch with slot1/port 28-32 type fc and rebooted it.  When the switch came up, I don't see those ports anywhere.  What am I missing?  I expected the ports to be FC interface.

Thanks

The feature fcoe needs to be enabled before the FC features are available. As soon as you type "feature fcoe" you should see a storage license get checked out and FC plug-ins loaded. Then type "show int brief" and the FC interfaces should be at the top of the list.

Thanks Jeremy, that did it.  I didn't think feature fcoe was needed as I was using native fc.
