Configuring uplink interfaces and downlink
interfaces
After configuring the switch to operate in NPV mode, configure the uplink interfaces and downlink
interfaces.
Configuring uplink interfaces
Uplink interfaces must be FC interfaces, FC aggregate interfaces, or VFC interfaces in NP mode.
To configure an uplink interface:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter FC interface view,
FC aggregate interface
view, or VFC interface
view.
interface { fc | san-aggregation
| vfc } interface-number
This interface is connected to the core
switch.
3. Configure the mode of
the interface to as NP.
fc mode np
The default setting is F mode for an
interface on an NPV switch.
Configuring downlink interfaces
Downlink interfaces must be FC interfaces, FC aggregate interfaces, or VFC interfaces in F mode.
To configure a downlink interface:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter FC interface
view, FC
aggregate
interface view, or
VFC interface
view.
interface { fc | san-aggregation | vfc }
interface-number
This interface is connected to a node.
3. Configure the
mode of the
interface to as F.
fc mode f
The default setting is F mode for an
interface on an NPV switch.
