Managing World Wide Names

Each port on a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch is uniquely identified by its world wide names (WWNs),
which include the switch MAC address and an identifier for each port. The principal switch selection
and the allocation of domain IDs use the WWN to identify a specific port.
To add WWNs, perform the following steps.
Step 1 From the Fabric Manager, choose FC > WWN Manager on the menu tree, or from the Device Manager,
choose FC > WWN Manager.
The Information pane of the Fabric Manager displays WWN information for multiple switches. The
dialog box from the Device Manager displays WWN information for a single switch.
Configure the BaseMacAddress and MacAddressRange attributes for the WWN(s).
Step 2
Step 3 In the Fabric Manager Information pane, the information is updated. In the Device Manager dialog, click
Apply to accept the changes; click Close to close the WWWN Manager dialog without saving changes.

Configuring Timers

To configure timers from the Fabric Manager, choose FC > Timers & Policies on the menu tree. The
Information pane from the Fabric Manager displays timers for multiple switches.
To configure timers from the Device Manager, choose FC > Timers/Policies. The dialog box from the
Device Manager displays timers for a single switch.
