1 NPIV mode and full fabric mode • NPIV mode simplifies SAN deployment by using N_Port ID Virtualization. NPIV provides Fibre Channel switch functions that improve switch module scalability, manageability, and interoperability. - For a list of switch module F_Ports mapped to N_Ports in the switch module as shipped from the factory, refer to “NPIV Mode default port mapping” on page 27. NOTE NPIV mode-enabled switches cannot be connected directly into an array; it requires a fabric to support
