wwn

wwn
Displays the world wide name (WWN) and factory serial number of the switch or chassis.
Synopsis wwn [-sn ]
Description Use this command to display the WWN associated with a switch or chassis and to display the
factory serial number. The WWN is a 64-bit number that has eight colon-separated fields each
consisting of one or two hexadecimal digits between 0 and ff. The WWN is a factory-set parameter
that cannot be changed by the end user. The WWN is used as the license ID in many cases, but the
only official string to be used for requesting licenses is the licenseidShow output. Alternately, use
switchShow to display the WWN.
In addition to the WWN, all switches have a unique 24-bit Fibre Channel address that is used for
communicating with the switch. Use fabricShow to display the FC address in addition to the WWN.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
