This chapter describes the fabric login database, the name server features, the Fabric-Device
Management Interface, and Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) information provided in the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family. It includes the following sections:
• FLOGI, page 34-1

• FDMI, page 34-4
• Displaying FDMI, page 34-4
• RSCN, page 34-5
• Default Settings, page 34-8
FLOGI
In a Fibre Channel fabric, each host or disk requires an FC ID. If the required device is displayed in the
FLOGI table, the fabric login is successful. Examine the FLOGI database on a switch that is directly
connected to the host HBA and connected ports. See the
“Default Company ID list” section on page 37-8
and the “Switch Interoperability” section on page 37-8.
Displaying FLOGI Details
To verify that a storage device is in the fabric login (FLOGI) table using Fabric Manager, follow these
steps:
Step 1 Expand Switches, expand Interfaces and then select FC Physical.
You see the interface configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the FLOGI tab.
You see all end devices that are logged into the fabric (see Figure 34-1).
