WWN or MAC Addresses
The WWN/MAC Address section displays the WWN/MAC information that is assigned to all servers, even if those server slots are
currently empty.
• Location displays the location of the slot occupied by the Input/Output modules. The six slots are identied by a combination of
the group name (A, B, or C) and slot number (1 or 2): slot names A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2. iDRAC is the server's integrated
management controller.
• Fabric displays the type of the I/O fabric.
• Server-Assigned displays the server-assigned WWN/MAC addresses embedded in the controller's hardware.
• Chassis-Assigned displays the chassis-assigned WWN/MAC addresses used for the particular slot.
A green check mark in the Server-Assigned or in Chassis-Assigned columns indicates the type of active addresses. Chassis-
assigned addresses are assigned when FlexAddress is activated on the chassis, and represents the slot-persistent addresses. When
ChassisaAssigned addresses are checked, those addresses are used even if one server is replaced with another server.
