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

dcb-map
Create a DCB map to configure priority flow control (PFC) and enhanced transmission selection (ETS) on Ethernet ports that
support converged Ethernet traffic. Apply the DCB map to an Ethernet interface.
Syntax
dcb-map map-name
Parameters
map-name Enter a DCB map name. The maximum number of alphanumeric characters is 32.

Usage
Information
A DCB map is a template used to configure DCB parameters and apply them on converged Ethernet
interfaces. DCB parameters include priority-based flow control (PFC) and enhanced traffic selection
(ETS).
To display the PFC and ETS settings in DCB maps, enter the show qos dcb-map command.
