Field Description
ENode [
number
] A server CNA that has successfully logged in to a fabric over an M I/O Aggregator
with the FC Flex IO module Ethernet port in ENode mode.
Enode MAC MAC address of a server CNA port.
Enode Intf Port number of a server-facing Ethernet port operating in ENode mode.
FCF MAC Fibre Channel forwarder MAC: MAC address of M I/O Aggregator with the FC Flex
IO module FCF interface.
Fabric Intf Fabric-facing Fibre Channel port (slot/port) on which FCoE traffic is transmitted to
the specified fabric.
FCoE VLAN ID of the dedicated VLAN used to transmit FCoE traffic from a server CNA to a
fabric and configured on both the server-facing M I/O Aggregator with the FC Flex
IO module port and server CNA port.
Fabric Map Name of the FCoE map containing the FCoE/FC configuration parameters for the
server CNA-fabric connection.
Enode WWPN Worldwide port name of the server CNA port.
Enode WWNN Worldwide node name of the server CNA.
FCoE MAC Fabric-provided MAC address (FPMA). The FPMA consists of the FC-MAP value in
the FCoE map and the FC-ID provided by the fabric after a successful FLOGI. In
the FPMA, the most significant bytes are the FC-MAP; the least significant bytes
are the FC-ID.
FC-ID FC port ID provided by the fabric.
LoginMethod Method used by the server CNA to log in to the fabric; for example, FLOGI or
FDISC.
Secs Number of seconds that the fabric connection is up.
State Status of the fabric connection: logged in.
