•A pWWN (P2) is allowed access through interface fc1/1 (F1).
•A nWWN (N1) is allowed access through interface fc1/2 (F2).
•Any WWN is allowed access through interface fc1/3 (F3).
•A nWWN (N3) is allowed access through any interface.
•A pWWN (P3) is allowed access through interface fc1/4 (F4).
•A sWWN (S1) is allowed access through interface fc1/10-13 (F10 to F13).
