6.1.6 Fibre Channel configuration commands

The Fibre Channel ports are configured with default settings but may be customized using CLI.

FCConnMode

Controls/reports the connection mode the FibreBridge uses when communication across a FC network, either to an arbitrated loop (FC-AL) when you select loop mode, or point-to-point when you choose ptp.

Default: loop

Set syntax: set FCConnMode [fp] [loop ptp loop- ptpptp-loop]

Requires a SaveConfiguration command Get syntax: get FCConnMode

FCHardAddress

Sets/displays the value used as the FC-AL hard address. This hexadecimal value represents the address the FibreBridge will try to use if hard addressing is enabled. When an optional address is not present, the current value is displayed. The valid range of values is 0 through 125.

Default: 0x03

Set syntax: set FCHard Address [fp [address]] Requires a SaveConfiguration command

Get syntax: get FCHardAddress [fp]

FCDataRate

Specifies the rate the FibreBridge will use, either 1 Gigabit/sec., 2 Gigabit/sec., 4 Gigabit/sec. or auto negotiate.

Default: auto

Set syntax: set FCDataRate [fp] [1Gb 2Gb 4Gb auto]

Requires a SaveConfiguration command Get syntax: get FCDataRate

FCHard

Used to enable or disable FC hard address assignment. Under soft addressing, the FibreBridge loop address is assigned during loop initialization. Use FCHardAddress (described below) if you enable hard addressing.

Default: disabled

Set syntax: set FCHard [enabled disabled] Requires a SaveConfiguration command Get syntax: get FCHard

FCPortList

Displays a list of available Fibre Channel ports and their current values. Valid status values are OK, Reserved and Failed.

Immediate command: FCPortList

FCTargets

Obtains information about every FC target device visible to a FibreBridge operating in initiator mode; devices may be used as targets for initiator mode features.

Get syntax: FCTargets <fp>

FCWWName

Reports the Word Wide Name (WWN) of the FC interface. Each FC port has an individual and unique WWN. The least significant 6 bits of the WWN are used as the Ethernet MAC address. Fabric and loop operations are unpredictable if duplicate WWNs are assigned.

Information only: get FCWWN [fp]
