portAddress 2 portAddress Synopsis Assigns the lower 16 bits of the Fibre Channel Port ID. portaddress --bind [slot/]por [16-bit_address] [--auto] portaddress --unbind [slot/]port portaddress --show [[slot/]port] portaddress --findPID 24-bit_Port_ID portaddress --help Description Use this command to bind the 16-bit address to the lower two bytes of a port 24-bit Fibre Channel address, or to unbind the currently bound address for the specified port. Changes effected by this command are persistent across reboots and power cycles. The port must be offline to bind an address and not currently bound to another address. If the port is currently bound to another address, use this command with the --unbind option to unbind the port. This command returns an error if the chosen address is in use or is bound to another port. If the address is currently assigned to another port, use this command with the --findPID option to identify the port that is bound to that address, and then unbind the port. The command provides a --show option that displays the currently bound address for a specified port or for all ports. Alternately, you can use the --findPID option to display the port currently bound to a specified port ID (PID). Notes Dynamic Area Mode and WWN-Based persistent PID must be enabled on the switch before you can assign an address with this command. Refer to configure for more information. In Fabric OS v6.4.0 and later, this command is supported on the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S,on all logical switches including the Default Switch. Virtual Fabrics must be enabled. It is also supported on the Brocade 5300, 5100, 300, 7800, and VA-40FC, regardless of Virtual Fabrics status. In Fabric OS v6.3.0, this command is supported on the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S on all logical switches except the Default Switch. Virtual Fabrics must be enabled. It is also supported on the Brocade 5300, 5100, and 300 (the Brocade 7800 is not supported). This command is not supported on any embedded platforms. If a any blade port is qualified to be in a user-created logical switch on a Brocade DCX or DCX-4S, this feature is supported on those ports. In the Default Switch, AP blades such as the Brocade FA4-18, FCOE10-24, AND FS8-18 are not supported, when dynamic area mode is enabled. This is enforced by the software. 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. Operands This command has the following operands: --bind Assigns the lower two bytes of the Fibre Channel address to the specified port. slot Specifies the slot number on bladed systems, followed by a slash (/).
