This command supports multiple configurations for mapping device logins to N_Ports for the purposes of load

balancing and redistribution in the event of a fabric change. If multiple mappings are configured, the system

considers the available mappings in a fixed order of priority to determine which of the available N_Ports should be

assigned to the login request. The first eligible mapping is chosen in the order specified below.

1. Device WWN to N_Port

2. Device WWN to N_Port Group

3. Automatic device WWN load balancing.

4. F_Port to N_Port

5. F_Port to N_Port Group
