NPIV Proxy Gateway for FC Flex IO
Modules
The N-port identifier virtualization (NPIV) Proxy Gateway (NPG) feature provides FCoE-FC bridging
capability on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO module switch,
allowing server CNAs to communicate with SAN fabrics over the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE
Switch with the FC Flex IO module.
To configure the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO module to operate as
an NPIV proxy gateway, use the following commands:
dcb-map
Create a DCB map to configure priority flow control (PFC) and enhanced transmission selection (ETS) on
Ethernet ports that support converged Ethernet traffic. Apply the DCB map to an Ethernet interface.

Syntax
dcb-map map-name
Parameters
map-name Enter a DCB map name. The maximum number of
alphanumeric characters is 32.
Defaults None. There are no pre-configured PFC and ETS settings on M I/O Aggregator and
MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO module Ethernet interfaces. With auto-
detection of DCB enabled, a DCB map named ‘dcb-map’ is applied on all the
Ethernet interfaces on which the DCBx frames are observed.

Version 9.3.0.0 Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE
Switch with the FC Flex IO module.
Usage
Information
A DCB map is a template used to configure DCB parameters and apply them on
converged Ethernet interfaces. DCB parameters include priority-based flow control
(PFC) and enhanced traffic selection (ETS).
To display the PFC and ETS settings in DCB maps, enter the show qos dcb-map
command.
Use the dcb-map command to create a DCB map to specify PFC and ETS settings
and apply it on Ethernet ports. After you apply a DCB map to an interface, the PFC
and ETS settings in the map are applied when the Ethernet port is enabled. DCBx is
enabled on Ethernet ports by default.
The dcb-map command is supported only on physical Ethernet interfaces.
