Converged Network Adapters
PCI system values
All Brocade FCoE CNAs share a common PCI Vendor ID (VID) value to allow drivers and BIOS to
recognize them as supported Fibre Channel and network devices. CNAs are also assigned PCI
subsystem vendor IDs (SVIDs) and subsystem IDs (SSIDs) to allow drivers and BIOS to distinguish
between individual host adapter variants. You can locate PCI device, vendor, and subsystem IDs for
the installed FCoE CNAs through your host's operating system tools. For example, if using Windows,
use the following steps.
1. Access the Device Manager
2. Open the Properties dialog box for the CNA by right-clicking the CNA and selecting Properties
3. Select the Details and Driver tabs to locate specific values.
