Managing device port nicknames
You can assign a nickname to a device port World Wide Name. A nickname is a user-definable,
meaningful name that can be used in place of the World Wide Name. Assigning a nickname makes it
easier to recognize device ports when zoning your fabric or when viewing the Devices data window.
McDATA Web Server maintains nicknames in the Nicknames.xml file, which is found in your working
directory. In addition to creating, editing, and deleting nicknames, you can also export the nicknames to a
file, which can then be imported into the Nicknames.xml file on other workstations.
