pWWN The fWWN of the NP port.
nWWN The VSAN-based sWWN of the NPV device.
fWWN The fWWN of the F port on the NPV core switch.
symbolic port name The switch name and NP port interface string.
Note
IP address The IP address of the NPV device.
symbolic node name The NPV switch name.
Although fWWN-based zoning is supported for NPV devices, it is not recommended because:
• Zoning is not enforced at the NPV device (rather, it is enforced on the NPV core switch).
• Multiple devices behind an NPV device log in via the same F port on the core (they use same fWWN
• The same device might log in using different fWWNs on the core switch (depending on the NPV link it
