Procedure
Step 1
switch# show san-port-channel summary | database | consistency [ details ] | usage |
compatibility-parameters
Displays SAN port channel information.
Step 2
switch# show san-port-channel database interface san-port-channel channel-number
Displays information for the specified SAN port channel.
Step 3
switch# show interface fc slot / port
Displays VSAN configuration information for the specified Fibre Channel interface.
The following example shows how to display a summary of SAN port channel information:

The following example shows how to display SAN port channel consistency:
switch# show san-port-channel consistency
Database is consistent
The following example shows how to display details of the used and unused port channel numbers:

FLOGI Operation
When an NP port becomes operational, the switch first logs itself in to the core switch by sending a FLOGI
request (using the port WWN of the NP port).
After completing the FLOGI request, the switch registers itself with the fabric name server on the core switch
(using the symbolic port name of the NP port and the IP address of the edge switch).
The following table identifies port and node names in the edge switch used in FC NPV mode.
Table 1: Edge Switch FLOGI Parameters
Derived FromParameter
The fWWN of the NP port on the edge switch.pWWN
The VSAN-based sWWN of the edge switch.nWWN
The edge switch name and NP port interface string.
If no switch name is available, the output
will read "switch." For example, switch: fc
1/5.
