IO to IOM Port Ordering
MAC and WWN Order
For all IO adapters, port one maps to IOM bank one and port two maps to IOM bank two. Port one of the LOM or
Mezzanine adapters will always be the lowest Physical Identifier and will scale with the port count. The Physical
Identifier is either a MAC address for Ethernet or a WWN (World Wide Name) for FibreChannel. In the case of a
Quadport Mezzanine card the same is true with the addition of port 3 mapping to bank 1 and port 4 mapping to
bank2. The FlexAddress MAC and WWN’s can retain this same ordering.
Figure 9 shows a Intel and a Broadcom Quadport mezzanine card and the relationship of the MAC addresses and
the IOM banks.
