Maximum Npiv Limit - Cisco MDS 9000 Series Configuration Manual

Interface Overview

Maximum NPIV Limit

Maximum NPIV Limit
The maximum number of NPIV logins is not configurable at the port level on edge switches operating in NPV
mode. Starting with Cisco MDS 9000 Release 6.2(7), the maximum NPIV limit feature is supported on core
NPIV switches, which include Cisco MDS 9513, MDS 9710, and MDS 9250i switches. The maximum NPIV
limit per-port feature allows you to configure a per-port limit. If a maximum limit is configured, whenever
an FDISC is received, it checks if the maximum NPIV limit is exceeded, then it will reject the FLOGI. If the
maximum NPIV limit is not exceeded, if the limit is exceeded, then it will process the FLOGI. The
trunk-max-npiv-limit command is used for F ports in trunking mode with multiple VSANs. If a port's
operational mode goes into trunking mode, this parameter is used.
