Viewing WWN or 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:
