74 Dell Networking FC Flex IOM: Deployment of FCoE with Dell FC Flex IOM, Brocade FC switches,
and Dell Compellent Storage Array
Deployment/Configuration Guide
Note: When the FlexAddress feature is deployed for the first time on a given server, it requires at least one power-
down and power-up sequence of the server for the FlexAddress feature to take effect. Certain network configurations
may require refreshing of network tables, such as ARP tables on IP switches and routers in order for new
MAC/WWNs to be logged in.
To check that FlexAddressing is enabled:
Figure 73 FlexAddress Enablement Confirmation
1. Click on Server Overview
2. Click on Properties
3. Click on WWN/MAC
4. WWN/MAC Addresses section – FlexAddress: Enabled should be visible. Chassis-Assigned
should have check marks next to each address.
Once FlexAddress has been confirmed as enabled, it’s a simple matter of matching up the MAC
or WWN of the network adaptor with the Server Slot and the Fabric that it is in.
