Verifying The Company Id Configuration; Switch Interoperability - Cisco AP775A - Nexus Converged Network Switch 5010 Configuration Manual

Verifying the Company ID Configuration

Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
The following example adds a new company ID to the default list:
switch(config)# fcid-allocation area company-id 0x003223
Verifying the Company ID Configuration
You can view the configured company IDs by entering the show fcid-allocation area command. Default
entries are listed first and the user-added entries are listed next. Entries are listed even if they were part of the
default list and you later removed them.
The following example displays the list of default and configured company IDs:
switch# show fcid-allocation area
FCID area allocation company id info:
00:50:2E <--------------- Default entry
00:50:8B
00:60:B0
00:A0:B8
00:E0:69
00:30:AE + <------------- User-added entry
00:32:23 +
00:E0:8B * <------------- Explicitly deleted entry (from the original default list)
Total company ids: 7
+ - Additional user configured company ids.
* - Explicitly deleted company ids from default list.
You can implicitly derive the default entries shipped with a specific release by combining the list of Company
IDs displayed without any identification with the list of deleted entries.
You can also view or obtain the company IDs in a specific WWN by entering the show fcid-allocation
company-id-from-wwn command. Some WWN formats do not support company IDs. In these cases, you
many need to configure the FC ID persistent entry.
The following example displays the company ID for the specified WWN:
switch# show fcid-allocation company-id-from-wwn 20:00:00:05:30:00:21:60
Extracted Company ID: 0x000530

Switch Interoperability

Interoperability enables the products of multiple vendors to interwork with each other. Fibre Channel standards
guide vendors towards common external Fibre Channel interfaces.
Not all vendors follow the standards in the same way, which results in the need for interoperability modes.
This section briefly explains the basic concepts of these modes.
Each vendor has a regular mode and an equivalent interoperability mode, which specifically turns off advanced
or proprietary features and provides the product with a standards-compliant implementation.
