NOTE
You need to enter either the copy running-config startup-config command or the write memory
command to save your configuration changes to Flash so that they are not lost if there is a system
reload or power outage.

Enabling and disabling an interface port

CEE interfaces do not support auto-negotiation of Ethernet link speeds. The CEE interfaces only
support 10-Gigabit Ethernet. CEE interfaces are disabled by default.
To enable and disable an interface port, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.
switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/1
3. Enter the shutdown command to toggle the availability of the interface.
To enable the CEE interface:
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#no shutdown
To disable the CEE interface:
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#shutdown

Configuring the MTU on an interface port

To configure the maximum transmission unit (MTU) on an interface port, perform the following
steps from privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter the interface command to specify the interface port type and slot/port number.
switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/1
3. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the interface port.
4. Enter the mtu command to specify the MTU value on the interface port.
The range of valid values is from 1522 through 9208, and the default size is 2500.
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#mtu 4200

Creating a VLAN interface

On Brocade FCoE hardware, VLANs are treated as interfaces from a configuration point of view.
By default all the CEE ports are assigned to VLAN 1 (VLAN ID equals 1). The vlan_ID value can be 1
through 3583. VLAN IDs 3584 through 4094 are internally-reserved VLAN IDs.
