We recommend that you save your current configuration either in boot flash memory or to a TFTP server
before you enable NPV.

Note

To enable NPV, perform this task:

Procedure

Purpose

Command or Action

Enters configuration mode.

switch#

configure terminal

Step 1

Enables NPV mode. The switch reboots, and it comes back up
in NPV mode.

switch(config)#

npv enable

Step 2

When the switch is reloaded in the NPV mode, only
the following configurations are saved:

Note

•

switchname

•

management ip

configuration and

vrf

•

boot

variable

•

username

password

details

•

ntp

configuration

•

callhome

configuration

•

snmp-server

details

•

feature fcoe

Disables NPV mode, which results in a reload of the switch.

switch(config-npv)#

no npv

enable

Step 3

Configuring NPV Interfaces

After you enable NPV, you should configure the NP uplink interfaces and the server interfaces.

Configuring an NP Interface

After you enable NPV, you should configure the NP uplink interfaces and the server interfaces. To configure
an NP uplink interface, perform this task:
