Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1002746-01
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.
