Dell Brocade G620 Brocade 8.0.1 Fabric OS Command Reference - Page 630

portAddress 16-bit_address Specifies the 16-bit address, in hexadecimal format, to be bound to the FC address. Leading zeros are optional in the hexadecimal value (for example, you can either specify 0x1a00 or 1a00). 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. --auto 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. --unbind Removes both the address and any automode override configuration from the specified port. --show 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). --findPID 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. --help Displays the command usage. Examples To bind a 16-bit address to the low two bytes of a port 24-bit Fibre Channel address: switch:admin> portaddress --bind 5/18 1a00 To unbind a given address from a port: switch:admin> portaddress --unbind 5/18 606 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1004112-02
