CLI Guide

Version Description
8.3.17.0 Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator.
Usage Information When you configure keepalive, the system sends a self-addressed packet out of
the configured interface to verify that the far end of a WAN link is up. When you
configure 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 traffic 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 Identifier. The range is 1 to
4094.
Defaults Not configured.
Command Modes CONFIGURATION

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 traffic 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 specified fabric. You must configure a
separate FCoE VLAN for each fabric to which FCoE traffic is forwarded. Any non-
FCoE traffic sent on a dedicated FCoE VLAN will be dropped.
You configure the association between a dedicated VLAN, which carries FCoE
traffic 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 configured as a tagged member of the FCoE VLAN.
