Fabric OS Command Reference 569
53-1001337-01
portAddress
2
--show Displays the currently bound address attributes for the specified port. This
command shows the lowest two bytes of the Fibre Channel address as well
as the current setting for auto mode. If a port is not specified, the display
shows the Partition Address Mode value (0, 1, or 2) and all ports on the
current partition. A -1 is displayed for ports that have not been assigned an
area. Areas are dynamically assigned an address as they are added to a
partition. The Partition Address Mode value is set by the configure command
(Enable a 256 Area Limit).
--findPID Displays the port (slot and port offset) of the port that is currently assigned
the provided address. This command applies the 10-bit area mask to the
provided PID and returns the port that has been assigned the specified
address. Therefore not all 24 bits are required to match exactly.
24-bit_Port_ID Specifies the 24-bit Fibre Channel port address. This operand is required with
the --findPID option. This command applies the 10-bit area mask to the
provided PID and returns the port hat has been assigned the specified
address. Therefore not all 24 bits are required to match.
--help Displays the command usage.
Examples To bind a 16-bit address to the low two bytes of a port 24-bit Fibre Channel address:
switch:admin>portaddress --bind 5/18 0x1a00
To unbind a given address from a port:
switch:admin>portaddress --unbind 5/18 0x1a00
To display all port address bindings on the current partition:
switch:admin>portaddress --show
