The Access Gateway uses NPIV to assign the 24-bit FC address, based on the port map
• F_Ports/devices share the same domain and area values as the 200E N_Ports to which they are
mapped
• The last byte is assigned in the order in which the devices log in to the fabric
Example:
• Port 14 address = 040500
• Host_5 address = 040501
• Host_6 address = 040502
