Device-Based Mapping - Brocade Communications Systems 8 Administrator's Manual

Removing F_Ports from N_Ports
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Remove any preferred secondary N_Port settings for the F_Port. Refer to
3. Enter the ag
4. Enter the switchshow command to verify that the F_Port is free (unassigned).

Device-based mapping

This feature allows you to map individual N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) devices to N_Ports. By
mapping device WWNs directly to an N_Port group (recommended) or specific N_Ports, traffic from
the device will always go to the same N_Port or N_Port group, regardless of the F_Port where the
device logs in. When Port Grouping Policy and WWN Load Balancing mode is enabled for a port
group, WWNs mapped to that port group are automatically balanced among the online N_Ports in
that group (refer to

The f_portlist can contain multiple F_Port numbers separated by semicolons, for example
"17;18".
