Many times it tells you exactly what's wrong.

However, if you are coming from a FCoE configuration where you previously had the switch with "feature fcoe", you have to first remove the feature "no feature fcoe" and then RELOAD!<br /><br />I've tested it myself. I tried to only delete the FCoE config: vfcs, fcoe vlan, the actual vsan and then removed "feature fcoe", then enabled "feature fcoe-npv" without reloading. I then entered again all the FCoE required config for NPV, but there my NP port never came up. I double-checked all the config, reentered it, but nothing, I then removed the feature fcoe, reloaded and then enter the exact same config I had entered before for fcoe-npv and NOW the NP port came up.<br /><br />Why? I have no idea, but it will save you a lot of time if you just reload the switch after removing feature fcoe.Alfonso Lopezhttp://www.corpicorp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596940132080312305.post-32026942289259562112014-08-24T00:54:40.737-04:002014-08-24T00:54:40.737-04:00When you enable the FCoE NPV using the feature &qu...When you enable the FCoE NPV using the feature "fcoe-npv" command, a write erase reload does not occur.

It need to be reloaded, so how we deal with this one in the practical CCIE DC Exam?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871477319509813264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596940132080312305.post-27785293365408744332013-04-25T15:07:45.489-04:002013-04-25T15:07:45.489-04:00These posts are awesome - keep them coming :)These posts are awesome - keep them coming :)Salman Naqvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11529916018516958539noreply@blogger.com
