NOTE:
– Fabric A displays the type of the Input/Output fabric installed. If Fabric A is enabled, unpopulated slots display chassis-
assigned MAC addresses for Fabric A.
– iDRAC management controller is not a fabric, but its FlexAddress is considered as a fabric.
– IF the check box associated with a component is selected, it implies that the fabric is enabled for FlexAddress or
FlexAddressPlus.
•
Protocol that is being used on the NIC Adapter port. For example, LAN, ISCI, and FCoE.
•
Fibre Channel World Wide Name (WWN) configuration and Media Access Control (MAC) addresses of a slot in the chassis.

MAC address assignment type and the current active address type — Server assigned, FlexAddress, or I/O Identity MAC. A
black check mark indicates the active address type, either server-assigned, chassis-assigned, or remote assigned.
•
Status of the NIC partitions for devices supporting partitioning.
You can view the WWN/MAC Address inventory using the Web interface or the RACADM CLI. Based on the interface, you can filter
the MAC address and know which WWN/MAC address is in use for that function or partition. If the adapter has NPAR enabled, you
can view which partitions are enabled or disabled.
Using the Web interface, you can view the WWN/MAC Addresses information for:
•
Specific slots — Open the FlexAddress page, by clicking Server Overview → Slot <x> → Setup → FlexAddress.
•
All the slots and server — Open the WWN/MAC Summary page, by clicking Server Overview → Properties → WWN/MAC.
From both the pages, you can view the WWN/MAC Addresses information in the basic mode or the advanced mode:
•
Basic Mode — In this mode, you can view Server Slot, Fabric, Protocol, WWN/MAC addresses, and Partition Status. Only
Active MAC addresses are displayed in the WWN/MAC address box. You can filter using any or all of the fields displayed:
•
Advanced Mode — In this mode you can view all the fields displayed in the basic mode and all the MAC types (Server Assigned,
Flex Address, and IO Identity). You can filter using any or all of the fields displayed.
In both the Basic mode and the Advanced mode, the WWN/MAC Addresses information is displayed in a collapsed form. Click the
plus
symbol corresponding to a slot or click Expand/Collapse All to view the information for a specific slot or all the slots.
You can also export the WWN/MAC Addresses information for all the servers in the chassis to a local folder.
For information about the fields, see the Online Help.
