The Ethernet MAC address is used for normal Ethernet operations. To find this MAC address
using HCM, select an Ethernet port in the HCM device tree, then click the Properties tab in the
right pane to display the port Properties panel. Look for the Current MAC address and Factory
MAC address fields.
Each enode logging in to the fabric through a local adapter port is assigned a MAC address
during FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) operations. This MAC is assigned for the current FCoE
communication only. To find this MAC address, perform one of the following tasks:
•
Select an FCoE port in the HCM device tree, then click the Properties tab in the right
pane to display the port Properties panel. Look for the FCoE MAC field.
•
Enter the port --query port_id BCU command. Look for the FCoE MAC.
NOTE
MAC addresses assigned during FCoE initialization operations cannot be changed using device
management applications.
The FCoE Forwarder (FCF) MAC address is the address of the attached FCoE switch. Select an
FCoE port in the HCM device tree, then click the Properties tab in the right pane to display the
port Properties panel. Look for the FCF MAC field.
You can also determine port MAC addresses using the following BCU commands:
Command
port ---query port_id
port ---list
NOTE
For details on using HCM and BCU commands, refer to the Brocade Adapters
Administrator's Guide.
