Examples To bind a 16-bit address to the low two bytes of a port 24-bit Fibre Channel address:
To unbind a given address from a port:
To display all port address bindings on the current partition:
604
port Specifies the port number, relative to its slot on bladed systems.
16-bit_address Specifies the 16-bit address to be bound to the FC address. Note that only the
upper 10 bits of the PID can be used for a unique route. Therefore, not all
addresses in the 16-bit range are available.
Enables autobinding on the specified port. If the auto feature is enabled, the
entire area field of the PID is bound to a single port. With 10-bit routing, up to
4 ports can share the same 8-bit area field of the PID. This address
assignment mode dedicates all four unique routes to a single port. By
default, auto is off. This operand is optional; if unspecified, the default is
used.
Removes both the address and any automode override configuration from the
specified port.
Displays the currently bound address attributes for the specified port. This
command shows the lowest two bytes of the Fibre Channel address as well as
the current setting for automode. If a port is not specified, the display shows
the Partition Address Mode value (0, 1, or 2) and all ports on the current
partition. A -1 is displayed for ports that have not been assigned an area.
Areas are dynamically assigned an address as they are added to a partition.
The Partition Address Mode value is set by the configure command (Enable a
256 Area Limit).
Displays the port (slot and port offset) of the port that is currently assigned
the provided address. This command applies the 10-bit area mask to the
provided PID and returns the port that has been assigned the specified
address. Therefore not all 24 bits are required to match exactly.
24-bit_Port_ID Specifies the 24-bit Fibre Channel port address. This operand is required with
the --findPID option. This command applies the 10-bit area mask to the
provided PID and returns the port hat has been assigned the specified
address. Therefore not all 24 bits are required to match.
Displays the command usage.
