Configuring the Port-Address Format
The zone server on Cisco SAN switches allows you to switch between the fabric-address format and port-address
format. You can configure this feature on a per VSAN basis. This configuration remains unchanged even
after an In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) or a switchover. By default, the Registered State Change
Notification (RSCN) format is fabric address
You can configure the port-address format.
