NOTE: If you purchase the FlexAddress or FlexAddressPlus feature with your Dell PowerEdge VRTX,
it is preinstalled and enabled for all slots and fabrics. To purchase this feature, contact Dell at
dell.com.
NOTE: By using the racresetcfg subcommand, you can reset the Flex Address of a CMC to its
factory-default setting, which is “disabled”. The RACADM syntax is:
racadm racresetcfg -c flex
For more information about the FlexAddress-related RACADM commands and data about the other
factory-default properties, see the

Viewing World Wide Name/Media Access Control (WWN/
MAC) Addresses
The WWN/MAC Summary page allows you to view the WWN configuration and MAC address of a slot in
the chassis.
Fabric Configuration
The Fabric Configuration section displays the type of Input/Output fabric that is installed for Fabric A. A
green check mark indicates that the fabric is enabled for FlexAddress. The FlexAddress feature is used to
deploy chassis assigned and slot persistent WWN/MAC addresses to various fabrics and slots within the
chassis. This feature is enabled on a per-fabric and per-slot–basis.
NOTE: For more information about the FlexAddress feature, see About FlexAddress.
Viewing WWN/MAC Address Information
You can view the WWW/MAC address inventory of Network Adapters for each server slot or all servers in
a chassis. The inventory includes the following:
• Fabric Configuration
NOTE:
– Fabric A displays the type of the Input/Output fabric installed. If Fabric A is enabled,
unpopulated slots display chassis-assigned MAC addresses for Fabric A.
– iDRAC management controller is not a fabric, but its FlexAddress is considered as a fabric.
– IF the check box associated with a component is selected, it implies that the fabric is enabled
for FlexAddress or FlexAddressPlus.
• Protocol that is being used on the NIC Adapter port. For example, LAN, ISCI, and FCoE.
• Fibre Channel World Wide Name (WWN) configuration and Media Access Control (MAC) addresses of
a slot in the chassis.
• MAC address assignment type and the current active address type — Server assigned, FlexAddress, or
I/O Identity MAC. A black check mark indicates the active address type, either server-assigned,
chassis-assigned, or remote assigned.
