Configuring N Port Virtualization
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:

Step 2
Step 3
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.
To enable disruptive load balancing, perform this task:
