FlexAddress
The FlexAddress feature allows server modules to replace the factory assigned World Wide Name and
Media Access Control (WWN/MAC) network IDs with WWN/MAC IDs provided by the chassis. FlexAddress
is delivered on a Secure Digital (SD) card that must be inserted into the CMC to provide the chassis-
assigned WWN/MAC IDs.
Every server module is assigned unique WWN and MAC IDs as part of the manufacturing process. Before
the FlexAddress feature was introduced, if you had to replace one server module with another, the
WWN/MAC IDs would change and Ethernet network management tools and SAN resources would need
to be reconfigured to be aware of the new server module.
