Solution

Steps to Follow
1. Telnet into the Brocade switch (Username = "admin", Password = "password")
2. Type "nsshow" command
Command: nsshow

Example:
The Local Name Server has 1 entries {

Type Pid COS PortName NodeName TTL(sec)
N 011f00; 3;10:00:00:e0:02:21:e3:ef; 10:00:00:e0:02:01:e3:ef; na

FC4s: FCP [SEAGATE ULTRIUM06242-XXX1360]
Fabric Port Name: 20:00:00:05:1e:09:87:9e

3. The WWPN of the device you are binding is the first WWN on the line (i.e, 10:00:00:e0:02:21:e3:ef ).

4. Another option is to see the output of "switchshow" command, this is an example:

brocade300:admin> switchshow
switchName:     brocade300
switchType:     71.2
switchState:    Online
switchMode:     Native
switchRole:     Principal
switchDomain:   1
switchId:       fffc01
switchWwn:      10:00:00:05:1e:09:87:9e
zoning:         OFF
switchBeacon:   OFF

4   4   010400   id    N4   Online      FC F-Port 50:06:0e:80:14:39:0e:24
5   5   010500   id    N4   Online      FC F-Port 50:06:0e:80:14:39:0e:44
6   6   010600   id    N4   Online      FC F-Port 50:06:0e:80:14:39:0e:56
7   7   010700   --    N8   No_Module   FC

The WWPN of each device can be found at the end of each line (after the F-Port)

ie WWN for device connected on port index 3 is 50:06:0e:80:14:39:0e:36
