2.Switch Serial Number

The switch serial number and corresponding bar code are provided on the serial number label, as illustrated below:

*FT00X0054E9*

FT00X0054E9

The serial number label is located as follows:

Brocade 300, 4100, 4900, 5100, 5300, 7500, 7800, 8000, VA-40FC, and Brocade Encryption Switch—On the switch ID pull-out tab located inside the chassis on the port side on the left

Brocade 5000—On the switch ID pull-out tab located on the bottom of the port side of the switch

Brocade 7600—On the bottom of the chassis

Brocade 48000—Inside the chassis next to the power supply bays

Brocade DCX—On the bottom right on the port side of the chassis

Brocade DCX-4S—On the bottom right on the port side of the chassis, directly above the cable management comb

3.World Wide Name (WWN)

Use the licenseIdShow command to display the WWN of the chassis.

If you cannot use the licenseIdShow command because the switch is inoperable, you can get the WWN from the same place as the serial number, except for the Brocade DCX. For the Brocade DCX, access the numbers on the WWN cards by removing the Brocade logo plate at the top of the nonport side of the chassis.
