I know with FCoE, we talk about the different port types being the same as their native fc counterpart, but with a 'V' in front. i.e. in FCoE we have 'VF', 'VNP, 'VTE' ports, but I'm wondering if the 'V' is purely terminology and something that does not exist in any config or show commands?
I've been testing some FCoE on N5k's, and from the below you will see I have successfully setup an FCoE 'VTE' port using vfc51. However, I cannot find reference anywhere to 'VTE', only 'TE' (see bold/italic below), hence my question.
N5K1(config)# sh int vfc 51
vfc51 is trunking
Bound interface is port-channel1
Hardware is Ethernet
Port WWN is 20:32:00:05:73:c7:40:3f
Admin port mode is E, trunk mode is on
snmp link state traps are enabled
Port mode is TE
Port vsan is 51
Trunk vsans (admin allowed and active) (51)
Trunk vsans (up) (51)
Trunk vsans (isolated) ()
Trunk vsans (initializing) ()
