Deployment Guide

Usage Information When you congure keepalive, the system sends a self-addressed packet out of the congured interface to
verify that the far end of a WAN link is up. When you congure no keepalive, the system does not send
keepalive packets and so the local end of a WAN link remains up even if the remote end is down.
interface vlan (NPIV proxy gateway)
Create a dedicated VLAN to be used to send and receive Fibre Channel trac over FCoE links between servers and a fabric over an
Aggregator with the PMUX module of NPIV proxy gateway.
Syntax
interface vlan vlan-id
Parameters
vlan-id Enter a number as the VLAN Identier. The range is 1 to 4094.
Defaults Not congured.
Command Modes CONFIGURATION
Supported Modes Programmable-Mux (PMUX)

Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.4(0.0) Introduced on the FN I/O Aggregator.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator.
Usage Information
FCoE storage trac received from servers on an M I/O Aggregator with the PMUX module NPIV proxy gateway is
de-capsulated into Fibre Channel packets and forwarded over FC links to SAN switches in a specied fabric. You
must congure a separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to which FCoE trac is forwarded. Any non-FCoE trac
sent on a dedicated FCoE VLAN will be dropped.
You congure the association between a dedicated VLAN, which carries FCoE trac from server CNAs over the
NPIV proxy gateway to a SAN fabric in which destination storage arrays are installed, in an FCoE map by using the
fabric id vlan command.
When you apply an FCoE map to a server-facing Ethernet port, the port is automatically congured as a tagged
member of the FCoE VLAN.
For more information about VLANs and the commands to congure them, refer to the Virtual LAN (VLAN)
Commands section.

pfc mode on
Enable the PFC conguration on the port so that the priorities are included in DCBX negotiation with peer PFC devices.
