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-

ptp|ptp-loop]

Requires a SaveConfiguration command

Get syntax: get FCConnMode

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

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]

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]
