12.2.2 World Wide Node Name (WWNN) Definition
WWNN addresses are used to define virtual WWNN address properties. It is recommended to define this in
FCoE and FC environments only.
For example, 21:00:00:e0:8b:05:05:04 is the identity for QLogic HBA card. Please note that this will vary
depending on the vendor HBA cards.
Restrictions:
WWN prefixes require an NAA value of 2, 5 or 6. An NAA value (Network Address Authority) is a 4 bit field
used to guarantee uniqueness of WW names. The NAA value is the first four bits of the address (so the
address must start with 2, 5 or 6).
Defined by:
- Prefix address
- Number of predefined octets
Or
- Imported identities
12.2.3 World Wide Port Name (WWPN) Definition
WWPN addresses are used to define virtual WWPN address properties. It is recommended to define this in

Restrictions:
WWPN prefixes have the same NAA restrictions mentioned in the section above.
Defined by:
- Prefix address
- Number of predefined octets
Or
- Imported identities
12.2.4 IQN Definition
