The following BCU commands:
4. Media access control (MAC) addresses. These are applicable to CNAs and Fabric Adapter ports
configured in CNA mode only.
The MAC address can be found in HCM by selecting the adapter in the device tree and clicking
the Properties tab in the right pane to display the adapter Properties panel. Look for the MAC
Address field.
Each port has a “burned-in” local port MAC address. This is the source MAC for LLDP
communications between the adapter and FCoE switch. To find this MAC address, select a DCB
port in the HCM device tree, then click the Properties tab in the right pane to display the port
Properties panel. Look for the Local port MAC field.
The Ethernet MAC address is used for normal Ethernet operations. To find this MAC address
using HCM, select an Ethernet port in the HCM device tree, then click the Properties tab in the
right pane to display the port Properties panel. Look for the Current MAC address and Factory
MAC address fields.
Each enode logging in to the fabric through a local adapter port is assigned a MAC address
during FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) operations. This MAC is assigned for the current FCoE
communication only. To find this MAC address, perform one of the following tasks:
•
Select an FCoE port in the HCM device tree, then click the Properties tab in the right
pane to display the port Properties panel. Look for the FCoE MAC field.
•
Enter the port --query port_id BCU command. Look for the FCoE MAC.
NOTE
MAC addresses assigned during FCoE initialization operations cannot be changed using device
management applications.
The FCoE Forwarder (FCF) MAC address is the address of the attached FCoE switch. Select an
FCoE port in the HCM device tree, then click the Properties tab in the right pane to display the
port Properties panel. Look for the FCF MAC field.
You can also determine port MAC addresses using the following BCU commands:
Command Function
port ---query port_id Displays port information, including the PWWN
for the FCoE port. The <port_id> parameter is
the port number.
port ---list Lists all the physical ports on the adapter along
with their basic attributes, such as the PWWN.
Command Function
port --query port_id Displays port information, including the MAC
addresses. The <port_id> parameter is the
port number.
port --list Lists all the physical ports on the CNA along
with the adapter, Ethernet, and FCoE MAC
addresses.
