The world wide port name (WWPN) can be assigned by the fabric through a
Brocade switch if both the adapter and Brocade switch are enabled to allow
fabric-assigned WWPNs. For information about enabling fabric-assigned
WWPNs, see the adapter user’s guide and Brocade switch documentation.
In Figure 4-9, port 50-00-53-37-E5-FB-F0-04 is assigned by the fabric through the
Brocade switch.
