Converting Port Number To Area Id - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

Converting port number to area ID

Except for the following cases, the area ID is equal to the port number:
• when you perform a port swap operation
• when you enable Extended Edge (also known as "displaced PID") PID on the Director
If you are using Extended Edge PID format (for example, the 4/256 SAN Director with configuration option
5) and would like to map the output of the port number to the area ID, use the following formula (for ports
0- 1 27):
a = (p + 16) % 128
where:
