Get Switch SAN Neighboor Information

[lomonaco]

Hi guys,

I'm connecting a lot of Nexus 55XX using FCoE in Brocade SAN Switches.

The Nexus 55xx are conected with a lot of servers using CNA and I have 4 8GB FC between each Nexus and each Brocade SAN Switch.

In the Nexus 55xx I'm using FcoE with NPV Mode.

My question is: I can get any information about the Brocade SAN Switch (nWWN, pWWN, etc) in Nexus 55xx.

I want to see if I can verify if I connect the Nexus 55xx in the correct Brocade SAN Switch but in the first moment I have no access to

the Brocade SAN Switch.

If was LAN, probably I will use CDP or LLDP Protocol for that

Thanks a Lot

My Best Regards,

since 5k is in NPV mode, you can use commands like

'show npv status'

'show npv flogi-table'

'show npv traffic-map'

to check the details about connected NP ports. You can also go to upstream brocade if you have access to it and execute commands like 'nsshow' and 'nscamshow' to check status of downstream logins and 5k info.
