Figure 11 NPV network diagram As shown in Figure 11, the NPV switch resides between nodes and the core switch on the edge of the fabric. The core switch is a switch operating in FCF mode. The NPV switch is connected to the nodes through its F_Ports and to the core switch through its NP_Port. In this manner, the NPV switch forwards traffic from its connected nodes to the core switch. The NPV switch appears as an FCF switch to nodes and as a node to the core switch. For more information about NPV, see "Configuring NPV."

Figure 11
NPV network diagram
As shown in
Figure 11
, the NPV switch resides between nodes and the core switch on the edge of the
fabric. The core switch is a switch operating in FCF mode. The NPV switch is connected to the nodes
through its F_Ports and to the core switch through its NP_Port. In this manner, the NPV switch forwards
traffic from its connected nodes to the core switch.
The NPV switch appears as an FCF switch to nodes and as a node to the core switch.
