Configuring ports
In SmartFabric mode, you can configure breakout and admin status, and MTU size for IOMs. You can configure port breakout
only for port groups.
NOTE: Ensure that the peer FC port has a fixed speed and matches the speed of the IOM FC port for the link to come up.
To configure breakout:
1. Click Devices > I/O Modules > View Details > Hardware > Port Information.
2. Select the port group and click Configure Breakout.
The Configure Breakout window is displayed.
3. Select the Breakout Type.
First apply "Hardware Default" and then select the required breakout.
NOTE: Breakouts can be configured only for Fabric Mode IOMs.
Configuring admin status
You can switch the admin status for all ports, which is enabled by default. For the MX9116n FSE port groups 1/1/15 and 1/1/16,
when you breakout the fiber channel ports, the admin status is disabled by default. Enable the status if required.
To switch the admin status:
Select the port and click Toggle Admin State.
The Toggle Admin State window is displayed.
Configuring Maximum Transmission Unit
You can configure the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for full-switch and fabric mode IOMs.
To configure MTU:
1. Click Devices > I/O Modules > View Details > Hardware > Port Information.
2. Select the Ethernet port and click MTU.
The Configure MTU window is displayed.
3. Select the MTU Size.
The approximate value for MTU is 1500 bytes. The default value is 1532 bytes, and the maximum is 9000 bytes. If the port
has both FCoE and Ethernet, the value is 2500 bytes.
Configuring auto negotiation
You can switch auto negotiation (AutoNeg). For DAC cabling, the AutoNeg is enabled by default. For AOC (fiber), AutoNeg is
disabled by default.
To switch AutoNeg:
Select the port and click Toggle AutoNeg.
The Toggle AutoNeg window is displayed.
If Ethernet links are not displayed automatically, switch the auto negotiation setting.
