Managing Device Port Nicknames
A nickname is a user-definable, meaningful name that can be used in place of the
world wide name. You can assign a nickname to a world wide name of a device.
Assigning a nickname makes it easier to recognize device ports when zoning your
fabric or when viewing the Devices data window. You can add, edit, delete, import
and export nicknames using the Nicknames dialog. A nickname must start with a
letter and can have up to 64 characters. Valid characters include alphanumeric
characters [aA-zZ][0-9] and special symbols [$ _ - ^ ].
NOTE:
Nicknames are stored on the switch with firmware 6.6 and later. However,
with 5.x firmware, nicknames are stored in an XML file on the workstation. To
use nicknames stored on a workstation with 5.x firmware, you must import
the 5.x nicknames XML file and save the changes. The maximum number of
nicknames allowed is 5000.
