Enabling Fcoe And Enabling Npv; Enabling Fcoe Npv - Cisco Nexus 5500 Series NX-OS 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.
