Configuration scenarios
The actual number of virtual N_Port_IDs accepted per port and per switch is determined by the limits you
set, and also by the limit that is reached first.
For example, if you’ve set switch.login.perPortMax to 25, and switch.login.perSwitchMax to 100, then
the first 4 ports will accept 25 virtual N_Port_IDs each. However, the fifth port will reject any more virtual
N_Port_IDs because the switch.login.perSwitchMax parameter (100) has been reached.
If you set switch.login.perPortMax to 50, and switch.login.perSwitchMax to 25, then the first port requests
50 virtual N_Port_IDs; 25 are accepted, and 25 are rejected. The second port requests 50 virtual
N_Port_IDs, but none are accepted, because the switch.login.perSwitchMax limit of 25 has been
reached.
Viewing NPIV port configuration information
To view the NPIV capability of switch ports, enter the portCfgShow command. The following example
shows whether or not a port is configured for NPIV:

Use the switchShow and portShow commands to view NPIV information for a given port. If a port is
an F_Port, and you enter the switchShow command, then the port WWN of the N_Port is returned. For
an NPIV F_Port, there are multiple N_Ports, each with a different port WWN. The switchShow
