Why each option
In a switched Fibre Channel fabric, ports are uniquely identified using a World Wide Name (WWN).
IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are used in TCP/IP networks, not for identifying ports within a Fibre Channel fabric.
MAC (Media Access Control) addresses are used for identifying network interfaces in Ethernet networks, not Fibre Channel.
DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable names to IP addresses in TCP/IP networks and is not relevant to Fibre Channel port identification.
A World Wide Name (WWN) is a 64-bit unique identifier assigned to Fibre Channel ports and devices, serving a similar function to MAC addresses in Ethernet. These WWNs are essential for the Fibre Channel fabric to identify specific devices and ports for zoning, routing, and overall fabric management.
