Meets enterprise data center needs.
The CE78-LIC-NPV license enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) N-Port Virtualization (NPV) on Huawei CloudEngine 7800 series switches, allowing seamless SAN connectivity.
It offloads FCoE traffic termination to the switch, simplifies SAN management, and aggregates multiple N-Port clients through a single F-Port connection.
Log into the switch CLI, upload the license file, and run ‘license add CE78-LIC-NPV.lic’ followed by ‘save’ and ‘reboot’ to activate the feature.
The NPV Function is supported on CloudEngine 7800 series models CE7853, CE7857, CE7890, and CE7895 under the latest firmware.
You need a CloudEngine 7800 series switch with at least VRP 8.180 or later and the CE78-LIC-NPV license file installed.
Yes, the NPV Function on CloudEngine 7800 allows FCoE traffic handling directly on the switch, eliminating the need for standalone SAN switches.
Each NPV-enabled CloudEngine 7800 switch supports up to 2,048 N-Port clients per F-Port uplink, depending on model capacity.
Yes, the license purchase includes one year of Huawei TAC support and software updates, extendable through a maintenance contract.
Use the CLI command ‘display license active’ to confirm CE78-LIC-NPV status and expiration date.
Yes, the NPV Function interoperates with multi-domain SAN fabrics, preserving zoning and domain isolation for scalable deployments.
Ensure the switch runs VRP 8.180 or later; if not, download and install the required firmware from Huawei Support before license activation.
By centralizing FCoE termination on the CloudEngine 7800, NPV reduces server CPU overhead, optimizes traffic flow, and simplifies SAN management.
The feature is configurable via CLI, eSight NMS, and RESTful APIs, enabling integrated automation and monitoring.
Yes, you can migrate seamlessly by configuring N-Port virtualization parameters on CloudEngine and phasing out the legacy NPV switch.
Contact a Huawei authorized reseller or your account manager with SKU CE78-LIC-NPV to obtain pricing and place an order.
NPV aggregates multiple host ports through a single uplink, while NPIV allows multiple virtual initiators on a single physical port in a fabric.
Check for file corruption, verify switch time settings, ensure compatibility with VRP version, and consult ‘display logbuffer’ for error details.
