A WWPN (World Wide Port Name) is physically assigned to a part in a Fibre Channel device.
The WWNN (World Wide Node Name) is a World Wide Name assigned to a node in a Fibre Channel fabric. It is valid for the same WWNN to be seen on many different ports on the netwerk.
The WWNN can be regenerated not like the WWPN which can't.
A WWNN (World Wide Node Name) is physically connected to a Fibre Channel device such as a FC HBA or storage array. It is valid for the same WWNN to be seen on many different ports (different addresses) on the network, identifying the ports as multiple network interfaces of a single network node.
The WWPN (World Wide Port Name) is generated from the WWNN by the Fibre Channel fabric when the device logs into the fabric. Used on storage area networks, it performs a function equivalent to the MAC address in Ethernet protocol, as it is supposed to be a unique identifier in the network.
this is addressing on FC fabrics and it is similar to MAC address
WWNN: World Wide Node Name ( device or HBA Address )
for example :::::b4:eg:b3:4b
WWPN: World Wide Port Name : address for specific port
note:
A dual-port HBA would have a single WWNN and Two WWPNs
