Usage Guidelines
Platform Availability:
Cisco SFS 3001, Cisco SFS 3012
Privilege Level:
Unrestricted read-write user or Fibre Channel read-write user.
Configure WWPNs for initiators so that FC devices can recognize them and communicate with them.
With virtual ports (NL_ports), physical FC ports can point to multiple initiators, and multiple ports can
point to the same initiator. For instance, if you have Initiators X and Y and Physical FC Ports A and B,
you can create the following virtual ports:
•
•
•
•
As you can see, in this way, multiple virtual ports can point to one initiator and individual physical ports
can support multiple initiators.
When you enter a question mark (?) after the port# variable, the CLI provides a suggested WWPN value.
Note
Use the recommended WWPN unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise. We strongly
recommend that you use the fc srp initiator command with the auto-bind keyword to create initiator
entries and assign WWPNs to initiators.
