Deployment Guide

Mode Description
fabric. An NPIV Proxy Gateway (NPG) allows
numerous point-to-point connects over a single
device (in this case, the I/O Aggregator device).
This feature allows each converged network
adapter (CNA) in each server to present itself as a
trusted connection to the storage fabric.
Fabric-Services (FPORT) The F_Port connects from the FC switch to the
N_Port of an end device. The F_Port on an FC
switch provides access to Fabric Services such as
Fabric Name Server and Fabric Login Server.
NOTE: Your I/O Aggregator device must have a Fibre Channel module (Flex FC IOM or FN2210S)
installed to view and configure Fabric-Services (FPORT) and NPIV Proxy Gateway.
For FIP Snooping Bridge (FCoE):
• Fibre Channel Mode — Displays FIP Snooping Bridge (FCoE).
• FCoE VLAN List — Displays IDs of FCoE VLANs that pass storage traffic.
• FCoE Forwarders — Displays number of FCoE Forwarders that act as an Ethernet and FC switch
combined.
• End Nodes — Displays the list of ENodes (FCoE initiators) that request a session.
• FIP Snooping Sessions — Displays number of FIP snooping sessions.
For NPIV Proxy Gateway (NPG):
• Fibre Channel Mode — Displays NPIV Proxy Gateway (NPG).
• FC Switch WWN — Displays the 64–bit World Wide Name that uniquely identifies each component in
the Fibre Channel switch network.
For Fabric-Services (FPORT):
• Fibre Channel Mode — Displays Fabric Services (FPORT).
• FC Switch WWN — Displays the 64–bit World Wide Name that uniquely identifies each component in
the Fibre Channel switch network.
• Domain ID
• Zoning — Displays whether zoning is enabled and configured.
• Active Zoneset — Displays the active zone set. A zone set consists of multiple zones.
• Number of Zones — Displays number of zones present in the active zoneset. Zones create functional
areas within a SAN and prevent unauthorized access
• Default Zone — Displays the default zone.
