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.

NPV bridge also depends on the FCF to MAC advertising capability of the FCF:
◦ If an FCF advertises the same FCF-MAC address over all of its interfaces, then the FCoE NPV
bridge can connect to it over one VNP Port. In this scenario, we recommend that one port channel
interface be used for redundancy.
◦ If an FCF advertises multiple FCF-MAC addresses, then the limits in the previous table apply. For
additional information, see the best practices recommendations for the FCF switch.
