faPwwn
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 8510-4 and DCX 8510-8,and the and Brocade 6510. 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
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.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric
OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.
Operands this command has the following operands:
--enable
Enables the FA-PWWN feature on the specified switch ports or AG ports. If a FA-PWWN is
not available for the ports, this command automatically assigners FA-PWWNs to the ports.
The switch ports must be disabled using the portDisable command before executing this
command.
--disable
Disables the FA-PWWN feature on the specified switch ports or AG ports. This commands
disables the binding of any existing FA-PWWNs to the specified ports, it does not delete the
port configurations themselves. When you re-enable the feature, the persistently saved
configurations are re-applied to the ports.
--assign
Assigns a FA-PWWN to a specified port. You can specify only a single port with this
command (not a port range) and optionally provide a VPWWN. The switch ports must be
disabled using the portDisable command before executing this command. When executed
without the -v option, this command automatically generates a FA-PWWN and assigns it to
the port. When executed with the -v option, and a user-assigned FA-PWWN already exists,
this command fails with an appropriate message. If an automatically assigned FA-PWWN
exists, the user-generated FA-PWWN overrides the automatically generated FA-PWWN.
When you assign a FA-PWWN to an AG port, you must specify the AG node WWN to
uniquely identify the AG. The new FA-PWWN will take effect upon the next login session.
