A single port can be assigned up to two WWNs, one assigned automatically and one assigned by the
user. Only one FA-PWWN can be active at any given time. The user-assigned FA-PWWN takes
precedence over the automatically assigned FA-PWWN. This means, the switch will bind the
user-assigned FA-PWWN to the port if both a user-assigned and an automatically assigned FA-PWWN
are available.
FA-PWWN configurations are saved persistently and are preserved even if the feature is disabled on a
port, or if you move the port to a different logical switch. The same configuration will be reapplied on the
port once the feature is enabled or the port is moved back to the switch where you initially created and
saved the configuration.
When issued for switch ports, the --show option displays the following information:
Port
Port number
PPWNN
Real PWWN of the device
VPWNN
Currently active FA-PWWN.
The following information is displayed for Access Gateway ports:
AG Port
Access Gateway node WWN followed by a slash and port number
Port
The FC switch port number
Device Port WWN
The real device port WWN displays only if the device is logged into the Access
Gateway.
Virtual Port WWN
The FA-PWWN (user-assigned or automatically assigned) created on the FC
switch for the Access Gateway port.
The following information is displayed for both AG and FC switch ports:
PID
Port ID.
Enable
Displays "yes" if the configuration is enabled; displays "No" if the configuration is
disabled.
MapType
Displays the type of mapping: Access Gateway (AG) or switch port (port),
user-assigned (user) or automatically assigned (auto).
NOTES This command is supported only on the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-4, DCX 8510-8,and the and
Brocade 6510. Regarding Access Gateway support, you cannot configure FA-PWWN on the Brocade
300, and 5100 when these switches are in Access Gateway mode. The AG port must be configured on
the switch to which the AG is connected. However, both AG switches are FA-PWWN-aware, which
means that they can connect to switches with configured FA-PWWN ports. Refer to the Brocade
Adapters Administrator's Guide for list of supported Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and configuration
procedures. Refer to the Release Notes for other restrictions that may apply.
You cannot enable the FA-PWWN feature if portSwap is enabled on the ports.
The operands, --assign, --delete, --enable, and --disable can be executed only on a disabled port
(switch ports and AG ports). You must re-enable the ports to come online with the new configuration.
