Apply vFabric configuration on the FC interfaces connected to NPG device
OS10(config)# interface range fibrechannel 1/1/1,1/1/2
OS10(conf-range-fc1/1/1,1/1/2)# vfabric 10
OS10(conf-range-fc1/1/1,1/1/2)# no shut
OS10(conf-range-fc1/1/1,1/1/2)# exit
Use case 2 - NPG fabric is connected to multiple upstream
switches belonging to the same SAN fabric
In this topology, the NPG device is connected to multiple FCF switches and all those FCF switches are part of same SAN fabric.
Configurations in NPG device remains same as in Use case 1.
Configuration in upstream devices remains same as well and it needs to be done in both the switches in the SAN fabric.
Use case 3 - Multiple NPG Fabrics connected to upstream switches
belonging to different SAN fabrics
In this topology the NPG device will have multiple fabrics configured and each fabric connected to upstream switch in different
SAN fabrics.
For this topology, the configurations mentioned for NPG fabric in topology 1 has to be extended to multiple fabric in NPG
device.
Configurations in upstream switches(Multi-switch) remains same.
F_Port commands
The following commands are supported on F_Port mode:
fc alias
Creates an FC alias. After creating the alias, add members to the FC alias. An FC alias can have a maximum of 255 unique

Information
The no version of this command deletes the FC alias. To delete an FC alias, first remove it from the FC
zone.
