Enabling and disabling NPIV
On the Brocade 300, 4100, 4900, 5000, 5100, 5300, and 8000 switches, the Brocade 5410,
5424, 5450, 5460, 5470, and 5480 embedded switches, the Brocade 48000 director, the
Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, and the FA4-18 blade, NPIV is enabled for
every port.
NOTE
CEE/FCoE ports on the Brocade 8000 have NPIV enabled by default, but NPIV cannot be enabled or
disabled on these ports. The login limit can be set on these ports provided you disable and enable
the ports using the fcoe
-- disable and fcoe -- enable commands.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. To enable or disable NPIV on a port, enter the portCfgNPIVPort command with either the
-- enable or -- disable option.
The following example shows NPIV being enabled on port 10 of a Brocade 5100:
switch:admin> portCfgNPIVPort --enable 10
NOTE
If the NPIV feature is disabled, the port is toggled if NPIV devices are logged in from that F_Port (a
true NPIV port). Otherwise, the firmware considers that port as an F_Port even though the NPIV
feature was enabled.
Viewing NPIV port configuration information
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the portCfgShow command to view the switch ports information.
The following example shows whether a port is configured for NPIV:
switch:admin> portcfgshow
