Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces

Detailed Steps

	To configure a Fibre Channel interface, follow these steps:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
Step 1	switch# config t	Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
Step 2	switch(config)# interface fc1/1	Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
	switch(config-if)#	configuration submode.
		Note When a Fibre Channel interface is configured, it is
		automatically assigned a unique world wide name
		(WWN). If the interface’s operational state is up, it is
		also assigned a Fibre Channel ID (FC ID).

	To configure a range of interfaces, follow these steps:

	Command		Purpose
Step 1
Step 1	switch# config t		Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
Step 2	switch(config)# interface fc1/1 - 4 , fc2/1 - 3		Selects the range of Fibre Channel interfaces
	switch(config-if)#		and enters interface configuration submode3.
			Note In this command, provide a space
			before and after the comma.

For the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter, you can configure a range of interfaces among internal ports or external ports, but you cannot mix both interface types within the same range. For example, “bay 1-10, bay 12” or “ext 0, ext 15-18” are valid ranges, but “bay 1-5, ext 15-17” is not.
