Figure 21-7 Selecting the NPV Devices
A table lists all the available NPV-capable switches including the switches on which NPV is not yet
enabled. Check the check boxes to select the required NPV devices. On devices that are not NPV
enabled, this wizard will enable NPV on the devices in the final step.
If you choose switches that are NPV disabled and click Next, a warning message appears with a list of
IP addresses of the NPV devices on which NPV will be enabled. Enabling NPV on the switch will result
in reboot of the switch. Boot variables of the switches have to be set, to enable NPV on them through
this wizard. (See Figure 21-8.)
