required. Any combination of upper and lowercase is acceptable. It can contain one of these values Eth for Ethernet; FC for FibreChannel; and FCTarget for FibreChannel Target. v Ethernet (Eth): In addition to the four common parameters, the Ethernet port entry also contains the following parameters. Port (required) The port to which the data is written. This is a value between 1 and 8, where 1 and 2 are reserved for the built-in on-board Ethernet cards. See "Mapping of devices to ports" on page 48 and "Multi-slot blades and the port offset parameter" on page 48for more information. MAC1 (required) This is the primary MAC address that is written to the Ethernet card attached to the port in question. It is a 48-bit EUI value represented in the field as six hexadecimal bytes (using values 0-9 and A to F, and not preceded by 0x) separated by colons, for example, 12:34:56:78:90:AB. Invalid addresses cause an error and the system ignores the line. VLAN1 (optional) This is the VLAN you use for this Ethernet connection. An empty field is equivalent to a value of zero. and the system informs the NIC that no VLAN was selected. Valid values for VLANs are 0 to 40. This field defaults to zero. This VLAN tag is used only by the BIOS for the PXE boot, if used. You must apply OS VLAN tags at the OS level. MAC2 (optional) This is the secondary MAC address for those Ethernet cards that support this option. If you do not supply a value for this field it is not applied. VLAN2 (optional) This is the secondary VLAN that the system uses for those cards that support a secondary MAC address. This field is applied only if MAC2 and VLAN2 contain a valid value. Valid values for VLANs are 0 to 40. A value of zero is equivalent to an empty field. This VLAN tag is used only by the BIOS for the PXE boot, if used. You must apply OS VLAN tags at the OS level. Here is an example of the Ethernet entry parameters: //IP ,Type ,Slot ,Offset ,Port ,MAC_1 ,VLAN1 ,MAC_2 ,VLAN2 localhost ,eth ,1 ,0 ,1 ,25:00:c9:00:00:00 Note: In the generated file Eth is expanded to Ethernet, but this is not required. v FibreChannel (FC): In addition to the common parameters, the FibreChannel port entry also contains the following parameters. Port (required) The port to which the data is written. This is a value between 3 and 8 (1 and 2 are reserved for the built-in on-board Ethernet cards). See "Mapping of devices to ports" on page 48 and "Multi-slot blades and the port offset parameter" on page 48 for more information. WWNN (optional) This is the worldwide node name for the FibreChannel device attached to the given port. It is a 64-bit EUI value represented in the field as eight hexadecimal bytes (using values 0-9 and A to F, and not preceded by 0x) 46 IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager Installation and User's Guide

Any
combination
of
upper
and
lowercase
is
acceptable.
It
can
contain
one
of
these
values
Eth
for
Ethernet;
FC
for
FibreChannel;
and
FCTarget
for
FibreChannel
Target.
v
Ethernet
(Eth)
:
In
addition
to
the
four
common
parameters,
the
Ethernet
port
entry
also
contains
the
following
parameters.
Port
(required)
The
port
to
which
the
data
is
written.
This
is
a
value
between
1
and
8,
where
1
and
2
are
reserved
for
the
built-in
on-board
Ethernet
cards.
See
“Mapping
of
devices
to
ports”
on
page
48
and
“Multi-slot
blades
and
the
port
offset
parameter”
on
page
48for
more
information.
MAC1
(required)
This
is
the
primary
MAC
address
that
is
written
to
the
Ethernet
card
attached
to
the
port
in
question.
It
is
a
48-bit
EUI
value
represented
in
the
field
as
six
hexadecimal
bytes
(using
values
0-9
and
A
to
F,
and
not
preceded
by
0x
)
separated
by
colons,
for
example,
12:34:56:78:90:AB
.
Invalid
addresses
cause
an
error
and
the
system
ignores
the
line.
VLAN1
(optional)
This
is
the
VLAN
you
use
for
this
Ethernet
connection.
An
empty
field
is
equivalent
to
a
value
of
zero.
and
the
system
informs
the
NIC
that
no
VLAN
was
selected.
Valid
values
for
VLANs
are
0
to
40.
This
field
defaults
to
zero.
This
VLAN
tag
is
used
only
by
the
BIOS
for
the
PXE
boot,
if
used.
You
must
apply
OS
VLAN
tags
at
the
OS
level.
MAC2
(optional)
This
is
the
secondary
MAC
address
for
those
Ethernet
cards
that
support
this
option.
If
you
do
not
supply
a
value
for
this
field
it
is
not
applied.
VLAN2
(optional)
This
is
the
secondary
VLAN
that
the
system
uses
for
those
cards
that
support
a
secondary
MAC
address.
This
field
is
applied
only
if
MAC2
and
VLAN2
contain
a
valid
value.
Valid
values
for
VLANs
are
0
to
40.
A
value
of
zero
is
equivalent
to
an
empty
field.
This
VLAN
tag
is
used
only
by
the
BIOS
for
the
PXE
boot,
if
used.
You
must
apply
OS
VLAN
tags
at
the
OS
level.
Here
is
an
example

the
common
parameters,
the
FibreChannel
port
entry
also
contains
the
following
parameters.
Port

is
written.
This
is
a
