Conguration guidelines
When conguring dierent modes; for example, F_Port, NPG, or FSB, consider the following:
F_Port, NPG, and FSB modes are mutually exclusive. You can enable only one at a time.
You can enable the mode-specic commands only after enabling the specic feature.
Before you disable the F_Port and NPG features, delete the mode-specic congurations. When you disable FSB, the system
automatically removes the congurations.
NPIV Proxy Gateway cascading
OS10 supports connecting two switches as NPIV Proxy Gateways (NPIVs) between Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) or Fibre
Channel Host Bus Adapters (FC HBAs) and FCoE Forwarder (FCF) switches.
In the following gure, NPG1 and NPG2 connect to each other which provide FCoE and FC services for CNA1 and FC HBA1, and the FCF1
switch.
NPG1 switch conguration
1 Enable the NPG feature.
OS10(config)# feature fc npg
2 Congure vFabric.
OS10(config)# vfabric 2
OS10(confvfabric2)# vlan 1000
OS10(confvfabric2)# name fcoe_fabric
OS10(confvfabric2)# fcoe fcmap 0efc02
3 Apply the vFabric conguration on the interface that connects to FC HBA and change the port mode to F_Port.
OS10(config)# interface fibrechannel 1/1/21
OS10(confiffc1/1/21)# vfabric 2
