NPIV Proxy Gateway for FC Flex IO Modules
The N-port identifier virtualization (NPIV) Proxy Gateway (NPG) feature provides FCoE-FC bridging
capability on the system with the FC Flex IO module switch, allowing server CNAs to communicate with
SAN fabrics over the
FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module.
To configure the FN IOM with the FC Flex IO module to operate as an NPIV proxy gateway, use the
following commands:
