Enabling Fcoe And Enabling Npv; Enabling Fcoe Npv - Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring FCoE NPV

Enabling FCoE and Enabling NPV

You can enable FCoE first and then enable NPV. This method requires the full Storage Services License. A
write erase reload occurs when this method is used. This method allows both FCoE and FC upstream and host
NPV connections. You must also configure class-fcoe in all QoS policy types.
1 Enable FCoE.
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# feature fcoe
FC license checked out successfully
fc_plugin extracted successfully
FC plugin loaded successfully
FCoE manager enabled successfully
FC enabled on all modules successfully
Warning: Ensure class-fcoe is included in qos policy-maps of all types
2 Enable NPV.
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# feature npv

Enabling FCoE NPV

You can enable FCoE NPV using the feature fcoe-npv command. We recommend this method in topologies
that include all FCoE connections. A write erase reload does not occur when you use this method and a storage
service license is not required. Enabling FCoE NPV using the feature fcoe-npv command requires an installed
FCOE_NPV_PKG license.
Before You Begin
FCoE NPV has the following prerequisites:
• Ensure that the correct licenses are installed.
• Configure the VNP ports.
