Configuring NPV Traffic Management

Configuring NPV Traffic Maps

An NPV traffic map associates one or more NP uplink interfaces with a server interface. The switch associates
the server interface with one of these NP uplinks.
If a server interface is already mapped to an NP uplink, you should include this mapping in the traffic
Note
map configuration.
To configure a traffic map, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# config t
2. switch(config)# npv traffic-map server-interface {fc slot/port | vfc vfc-id} external-interface fc slot/port
3. switch(config)# no npv traffic-map server-interface {fc slot/port | vfc vfc-id} external-interface fc
slot/port
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# npv traffic-map server-interface {fc
slot/port | vfc vfc-id} external-interface fc slot/port
Step 3 switch(config)# no npv traffic-map server-interface
{fc slot/port | vfc vfc-id} external-interface fc slot/port

Enabling Disruptive Load Balancing

If you configure additional NP uplinks, you can enable the disruptive load-balancing feature to distribute the
server traffic load evenly among all the NP uplinks.
