NPIV Proxy Gateway for FC Flex IO Modules
The N-port identier virtualization (NPIV) Proxy Gateway (NPG) feature provides FCoE-FC bridging capability on the M I/O Aggregator
with the FC Flex IO module switch, allowing server CNAs to communicate with SAN fabrics over the M I/O Aggregator with the FC Flex IO
module.
To congure the M I/O Aggregator with the FC Flex IO module to operate as an NPIV proxy gateway, use the following commands:
description (for FCoE maps)
In an FCoE map, add a text description of the FCoE and FC parameters used to transmit storage trac over an M I/O Aggregator with the
FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway in a converged fabric.
