Command History

Usage Guidelines

We recommend using the system-assign option. If you manually assign a WWN, you must ensure its

uniqueness. You should not use any previously-assigned WWN.

If you use system-assign option to configure WWNs for an iSLB initiator, when the configuration is

saved to an ASCII file, the system-assigned WWNs are also saved. If you subsequently perform a write

erase, you must manually delete the WWN configuration from the ASCII file. Failing to do so can cause

duplicate WWN assignments if the ASCII configuration file is reapplied on the switch.

The following example uses the switch WWN pool to allocate the nWWN for this iSCSI initiator and to

keep it persistent.

switch# config terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.

switch(config)# iscsi initiator name iqn.1987-02.com.cisco.initiator

switch(config-iscsi-init)# static nWWN system-assign
