Configuring NPV Interfaces

After you enable NPV, you should configure the NP uplink interfaces and the server interfaces. To
configure an NP uplink interface, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc slot/port
Step 3
switch(config-if)# switchport mode NP
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
To configure a server interface, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface {fc slot/port |
vfc vfc-id}
Step 3
switch(config-if)# switchport mode F
switch(config-if)# no shutdown

Configuring NPV Traffic Management

After the interfaces are configured in NPV mode, you can configure NPV traffic management.
This section includes the following topics:

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
