Assigning a static PID
Use the following procedure to assign a static PID.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the wwnAddress -bind command to assign a 16-bit PID to a given WWN.
Clearing PID binding
Use the following procedure to clear a PID binding.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the wwnAddress -unbind command to clear the PID binding for the specified WWN.
Showing PID assignments
Use the following procedure to display PID assignments.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Based on what you want to display, enter the appropriate command.
• To display the assigned WWN-PID bindings, enter the following:
wwnAddress --show
• To display the PID assigned to the specific device WWN, enter the following:
wwnAddress -findPID wwn
Ports
Ports provide either a physical or virtual network connection point for a device. Brocade devices support
a wide variety of ports.
Port Types
The following is a list of port types that may be part of a Brocade device:
• D_Port -- A diagnostic port lets an administrator isolate the link to diagnose link-level faults. This port
runs only specific diagnostics tests and does not carry any fabric traffic. Refer to Diagnostic Port on
page 421 for more information on this port type.
• E_Port -- An expansion port that is assigned to ISL links to expand a fabric by connecting it to other
switches. Two connected E_Ports form an inter-switch link (ISL). When E_Ports are used to connect
switches, those switches merge into a single fabric without an isolation demarcation point. ISLs are
non-routed links.
• EX_Port -- A type of E_Port that connects a Fibre Channel router to an edge fabric. From the point of
view of a switch in an edge fabric, an EX_Port appears as a normal E_Port. It follows applicable
