| Description | An entry (conceptual row) in the cnpvTrafficMapTable.
This table contains entries for each of the interfaces
which has been assigned a set of interfaces for traffic
mapping.
Traffic mapping is a technique used in NPV device to
restrict the usage of external interface(s) for forwarding
the traffic from server interface to the fibre channel fabric.
If an interface comes up as a server interface and finds
a corresponding entry in this table, then the switch
software will assign a valid external interface from
this list, if any. Once assigned, that assigned external
interface will be used for forwarding the traffic from
the server interface to the fibre channel fabric.
If an interface comes up as a server interface and
finds an entry in this table, but with no valid list of
external interfaces, then the switch software keeps the
server interface in operationally down state until
at least one of the interface in the list becomes a
valid external interface.
If an interface comes up as a server interface and it
can not find an entry in this table, then any of the
available external interfaces can be assigned to that
server interface.
Entries can be created and destroyed to this table via
cnpvTrafficMapRowStatus object. Columnar objects can be
modified when the corresponding cnpvTrafficMapRowStatus
is 'active'. |
