Q

Notes If you are connected through the management port, modifying the MGMT Ethernet terminates any active network GUI and CLI sessions, requiring relogin. If you are using the CLI on the serial console, the connection is not disrupted.

Modify Port Command

Changes the specified keywords—type, capability, speed—for the specified Fibre Channel port number.

Syntax modify port [port number]

type [port type] capability [port capability] speed [port speed]

Keywords At least one of the optional keywords is required:

modify port [port number]

An integer 1-8 for SANbox 8200-08 SSP/SANbox 8202-08 SSP or 1-16 for SANbox 8202-16 SSP to indicate the Fibre Channel port.

capability [port capability]

FCP_TARGET: to enable the port to be used as a front-end (looks like a storage array port).

FCP_INITIATOR: to initiate back-end traffic to disks (cannot receive storage).

both: traffic can go both ways.

speed [port speed]

1G, 2G, NEGOTIATE

type [port type]

N_PORT: the port functions only in conjunction with a single-attached device that is capable of fabric mode operation.

AUTO: enables the port to initialize in the most appropriate mode, either loop (NL_Port) or fabric (N_Port), according to what is on the other end of the link.

NOTE: Ports should generally run in fabric mode because fabric yields better throughput and links recover more quickly.

Notes You must restart the system for port capability or port speed changes to take effect.
