Chapter 2 Configuring Interfaces

Configuring Interfaces

Detailed Steps

To configure the interface mode, follow these steps:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

switch# config t

Enters configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

switch(config)# interface fc1/1-12

Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface

 

switch(config-if)#

configuration submode.

 

 

Note Ensure that one full ASIC range of ports are

 

 

selected before executing this command. For

 

 

example, /1-12 for a 48-port module or

 

 

fcY/1-8 for a 32-port module.

 

 

The first ASIC on the 48-port module has ports

 

 

fc1/1-12.

Step 3

 

 

switch(config-if)# 10G-speed-mode

Configures all the ports (fc1 to 12) to out-of-service

 

 

state.

 

 

Moves the ports that are capable of a10-Gbps

 

 

configuration (fc1/4-8 and fc1/10) to in-service state.

 

 

Sets the speed on ports fc1/4-8 and fc1/10 to 10-Gbps.

 

 

Sets port modes on these ports to dedicated.

 

 

Performs a no shut on these ports.

 

 

 

 

switch(config-if)# no 10G-speed-mode

Reverts the settings and puts all the ports (fc1 to 12) in

 

 

out-of-service state and moves them to in-service

 

 

state.

 

 

 

Configuring Port Administrative Speeds

Restrictions

Changing the port administrative speed is a disruptive operation.

Detailed Steps

To configure the port speed of the interface, follow these steps:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

switch# config t

Enters configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

switch(config)# interface fc 1/1

Selects the fc interface and enters interface

 

 

configuration mode.
