Viewing WWN/MAC Address Information
You can view the WWW/MAC address inventory of Network Adapters for each server slot or all servers in
a chassis. The inventory includes the following:
• Fabric Configuration
NOTE:
– Fabric A displays the type of the Input/Output fabric installed. If Fabric A is enabled,
unpopulated slots display chassis-assigned MAC addresses for Fabric A.
– iDRAC management controller is considered as part of Management Fabric and is shown
along with rest of Fabrics.
– A check mark against the component indicates that the fabric is enabled for FlexAddress or
FlexAddressPlus.
• Protocol that is being used on the NIC Adapter port. For example, LAN, iSCSI, FCoE, and so on.
• Fibre Channel World Wide Name (WWN) configuration and Media Access Control (MAC) addresses of
a slot in the chassis.
• MAC address assignment type and the current active address type — Server assigned, FlexAddress, or
I/O Identity MAC. A green check mark indicates the active address type, either server-assigned,
chassis-assigned, or remote assigned.
• Status of the NIC partitions for devices supporting partitioning.
You can view the WWN/MAC Address inventory using the Web interface or the RACADM CLI. Based on
the interface, you can filter the MAC address and know which WWN/MAC address is in use for that
function or partition. If the adapter has NPAR enabled, you can view which partitions are enabled or
disabled.
Using the Web interface, you can view the WWN/MAC Addresses information for specific slots using the
FlexAddress page (Click Server Overview → Slot <x> → Setup → FlexAddress). You can view the
WWN/MAC Addresses information for all the slots and server using the WWN/MAC Summary page (Click
Server Overview → Properties → WWN/MAC). From both the pages you can view the WWN/MAC
Addresses information in the basic mode or the advanced mode:
• Basic Mode — In this mode you can view Server Slot, Fabric, Protocol, WWN/MAC addresses, and
Partition Status. Only Active MAC addresses are displayed in WWN/MAC address field. You can filter
using any or all of the fields displayed.
