Brocade san switch domain id1/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Tempshow – Show switch TEMPERATURE values It is called Embedded Port and it is necessary to route information between switches within one Fabric.Version – Gives versions of firmwares & OS Of course as a consequence in Fabric every switch has always unique Domain_ID, therefore unique Domain Controller Address, therefore unique ID. Now we can actually execute the same nodefind command on switch05: switch05> nodefind 50:06:04:8a:d5:4f:23:10 And there it is – our Switch with Domain_ID=40 is switch05. This is considered as the name/ID of the switch. FFFC xx is the Address of the Domain Controller – xx represents the Domain ID. What interests us is the ID of the Switch. For that just go with the command fabricshow: switch01> fabricshow Now we have a final step – to identify which switch is it. We know the FC Address of our port, we know to which Domain it belongs and exactly to which port. Port Index: 165 – is already given (as hex) in Core PID Address.If this switch required shared area addressing (basically more than 255), the first 8 bit of Node ID would be “borrowed” as Area ID as well. 00 – this is the Node ID – 00, because to this port only one Node is connected directly / No NPIV.As you can see this is exactly – our Port Index. a5 – this is the Area ID – a5 hex = 165 dec.But in few words – First 8 bits are Domain ID, another 8 bits are Area ID, and last 8 bits are Node ID – 00 or AP_PA, so: I mentioned FC Addressing in Fibre Channel addressing entry if you wish to refresh the knowledge. 40a500 – is a 24bit ( Core PID format) FC Address.Remote means that this WWN is connected to another switch in the Fabric. ![]()
