Configuring an NPIV Proxy Gateway

Prerequisite: Before you configure an NPIV proxy gateway (NPG) on an Aggregator, ensure that the
following features are enabled.

• DCB is enabled by default on the Aggregator.
• Autonegotiated DCBx is enabled for converged traffic by default with the Ethernet ports on all

Aggregators.

• FCoE transit with FIP snooping is automatically enabled when you configure Fibre Channel on the

Aggregator.

To configure an NPG operation on an Aggregator, follow these general configuration steps:

1.

Enabling Fibre Channel Capability on the Switch

2.

Creating a DCB map

3.

Applying a DCB map on server-facing Ethernet ports

4.

Creating an FCoE VLAN

5.

Creating an FCoE map

6.

Applying an FCoE map on server-facing Ethernet ports

7.

Applying an FCoE Map on fabric-facing FC ports

NOTE: All these configurations are available only in PMUX mode and you cannot perform these

configurations in Standalone mode.

Default Configurations in Standalone mode

By default, the following configurations are set in Standalone mode:

1.

All the FC port are applied with the default FCoE map.

2.

All the 10G server facing ports with the DCBX frames will have the default FCoE map and default

DCB map assigned, and without the DCBX frames, DCB_MAP_PFC_OFF will be applied.
