Fabric Conguration
The Fabric Conguration section displays the type of Input/Output fabric that is installed for Fabric A. A green check mark indicates that
the fabric is enabled for FlexAddress. The FlexAddress feature is used to deploy chassis assigned and slot persistent WWN/MAC addresses
to various fabrics and slots within the chassis. This feature is enabled on a per-fabric and per-slot–basis.
NOTE
: For more information about the FlexAddress feature, see About FlexAddress.
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 Conguration
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 not a fabric, but its FlexAddress is considered as a fabric.
– IF the check box associated with a component is selected, it implies that the fabric is enabled for FlexAddress or
FlexAddressPlus.
