Command History
Usage Guidelines The ivr nat command allows you to explicitly enable NAT functionality of IVR. Upgrading to SAN-OS
Release 2.x from SAN-OS Release 1.3.x does not automatically enable the Fibre Channel NAT
functionality. This command also allows you to continue to operate in non-NAT mode even in SAN-OS
Release 2.x and later.
Note You might need to operate in non-NAT mode to support proprietary protocols that embed FCIDs in the
frame payloads.
Examples The following example shows how to explicitly enable NAT functionality for IVR.
switch# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# ivr nat
