NPIV Proxy Gateway
The N-port identifier virtualization (NPIV) Proxy Gateway (NPG) feature provides FCoE-FC bridging capability on the S5000
switch, allowing server CNAs to communicate with SAN fabrics over the S5000.
To configure the S5000 to operate as an NPIV proxy gateway, use the following commands:
Topics:
• dcb-map
• description
• fabric
• fabric-id vlan
• fc-map
• fcf-priority
• feature fc
• fka-adv-period
• interface vlan (NPIV proxy gateway)
• keepalive
• priority-pgid
• priority-group bandwidth pfc
• show fcoe-map
• show npiv devices
• show fc switch
• show qos dcb-map
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.
Defaults None. There are no pre-configured PFC and ETS settings on S5000 Ethernet interfaces.

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.
Use the dcb-map command to create a DCB map to specify PFC and ETS settings and apply it on
Ethernet ports. After you apply a DCB map to an interface, the PFC and ETS settings in the map are
applied when the Ethernet port is enabled. DCBx is enabled on Ethernet ports by default.
