Version Description
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO
module.
Usage Information
Use the show npiv devices command to display information on the server CNA, server-facing Ethernet and
fabric-facing FC ports, and the SAN fabric in each server-fabric connection over an M I/O Aggregator with the FC
Flex IO module that operates as an NPIV proxy gateway.
The following table describes the show npiv devices brief output shown in the example below.
Field Description
ENode-Intf M I/O Aggregator with the FC Flex IO module Ethernet interface (slot/port) to which a
server CNA is connected.
ENode-WWPN Worldwide port name (WWPN) of a server CNA port.
FCoE-Vlan VLAN ID of the dedicated VLAN used to transmit FCoE trac to and from the fabric.
Fabric-Intf Fabric-facing Fibre Channel port (slot/port) on which FC trac is transmitted to the
specied fabric.
Fabric-Map Name of the FCoE map containing the FCoE/FC conguration parameters for the server
CNA-fabric connection.
LoginMethod Method used by the server CNA to log in to the fabric; for example:
FLOGI - ENode logged in using a fabric login (FLOGI).
FDISC - ENode logged in using a fabric discovery (FDISC).
Status Operational status of the link between a server CNA port and a SAN fabric: Logged In -
Server has logged in to the fabric and is able to transmit FCoE trac.
