Command History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator and MXL 10/40GbE Switch with the FC Flex IO module.
Usage Information

Use the show npiv devices command to display information on the server CNA, server-facing Ethernet and fabric-facing FC ports, and the SAN fabric in each server-fabric connection over a switch with the FC Flex IO module NPIV proxy gateway.

The following table describes the show npiv devices brief output shown in the example below.

Field Description
ENode-Intf A switch with the FC Flex IO module Ethernet interface ( slot/port) to which a server CNA is connected.
ENode-WWPN Worldwide port name (WWPN) of a server CNA port.
FCoE-Vlan VLAN ID of the dedicated VLAN used to transmit FCoE traffic to and from the fabric.
Fabric-Intf Fabric-facing Fibre Channel port ( slot/port) on which FC traffic is transmitted to the specified fabric.
Fabric-Map Name of the FCoE map containing the FCoE/FC configuration parameters for the server CNA-fabric connection.
LoginMethod Method used by the server CNA to log in to the fabric; for example:

FLOGI - ENode logged in using a fabric login (FLOGI).

FDISC - ENode logged in using a fabric discovery (FDISC).

Status Operational status of the link between a server CNA port and a SAN fabric: Logged In - Server has logged in to the fabric and is able to transmit FCoE traffic.

Usage Information

The following table describes the show npiv devices output shown in the example below.

Field Description
ENode [ number] A server CNA that has successfully logged in to a fabric over a switch with the FC Flex IO module Ethernet port in ENode mode.
Enode MAC MAC address of a server CNA port.
Enode Intf Port number of a server-facing Ethernet port operating in ENode mode.
FCF MAC Fibre Channel forwarder MAC: MAC address of the switch with the FC Flex IO module FCF interface.
Fabric Intf Fabric-facing Fibre Channel port ( slot/port) on which FCoE traffic is transmitted to the specified fabric.
FCoE VLAN ID of the dedicated VLAN used to transmit FCoE traffic from a server CNA to a fabric and configured on both the server-facing the switch with the FC Flex IO module port and server CNA port.
Fabric Map Name of the FCoE map containing the FCoE/FC configuration parameters for the server CNA-fabric connection.
Enode WWPN Worldwide port name of the server CNA port.
Enode WWNN Worldwide node name of the server CNA.
FCoE MAC Fabric-provided MAC address (FPMA). The FPMA consists of the FC-MAP value in the FCoE map and the FC-ID provided by the fabric after a successful FLOGI. In the FPMA, the most significant bytes are the FC-MAP; the least significant bytes are the FC-ID.
FC-ID FC port ID provided by the fabric.
LoginMethod Method used by the server CNA to log in to the fabric; for example, FLOGI or FDISC.
Secs Number of seconds that the fabric connection is up.
State Status of the fabric connection: logged in.
