Persistent FC ID Configuration Guidelines
When the persistent FC ID feature is enabled, you can enter the persistent FC ID submode and add static
or dynamic entries in the FC ID database. By default, all added entries are static. Persistent FC IDs are
configured on a per-VSAN basis.
When manually configuring a persistent FC ID, follow these requirements:
• Ensure that the persistent FC ID feature is enabled in the required VSAN.
• Ensure that the required VSAN is an active VSAN. Persistent FC IDs can only be configured on
active VSANs.
• Verify that the domain part of the FC ID is the same as the runtime domain ID in the required VSAN.
If the software detects a domain mismatch, the command is rejected.
• Verify that the port field of the FC ID is 0 (zero) when configuring an area.
Configuring Persistent FC IDs
To configure persistent FC IDs, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# fcdomain fcid database
switch(config-fcid-db)#
Enters FC ID database configuration submode.
Step 3
switch(config-fcid-db)# vsan vsan-id wwn
33:e8:00:05:30:00:16:df fcid fcid
Configures a device WWN
(33:e8:00:05:30:00:16:df) with the FC ID
0x070128 in the specified VSAN.
Note To avoid assigning a duplicate FC ID, use
the show fcdomain address-allocation
vsan command to display the FC IDs in
use.
switch(config-fcid-db)# vsan vsan-id wwn
11:22:11:22:33:44:33:44 fcid fcid dynamic
Configures a device WWN
(11:22:11:22:33:44:33:44) with the FC ID
0x070123 in the specified VSAN in dynamic
mode.
switch(config-fcid-db)# vsan vsan-id wwn
11:22:11:22:33:44:33:44 fcid fcid area
Configures a device WWN
(11:22:11:22:33:44:33:44) with the FC IDs
0x070100 through 0x701FF in the specified
VSAN.
Note To secure the entire area for this
fcdomain, assign 00 as the last two
characters of the FC ID.
