Fabric OS Command Reference 465

portCfgVEXPort
2
Operands This command has the following operands:
-a admin Enables or disables the specified port as an VEX_Port. Valid values are 1
(enable as VEX_Port), 2 (disable as VEX_Port and enable as non-VEX_Port).
portCfgDefault may also be used to disable VEX_Ports.
-f fabricid Specifies the fabric ID. Valid values are 1-128.
-r ratov Specifies the R_A_TOV used for port negotiation. Valid values are 2000 -
120000. This operand is only applicable if the "Fabric Parameter" attribute
value is not "Auto Negotiate".
-e edtov Specifies the E_D_TOV used for port negotiation. Valid values are 1000 -
60000. This operand is only applicable if the "Fabric Parameter" attribute
value is not "Auto Negotiate".
-d domainid Specify the preferred domain ID. For Brocade native mode (-m 0) or McDATA
Open Fabric mode (-m 1), valid values are 1-239. For McDATA Fabric mode
(-m 2), valid values are 1-31.
-p pidformat Specifies the Port ID format. Valid values are 0-native, 1-core, 2-extended
edge. This operand is applicable only when port mode is set to 0 (native
mode). If port mode is not "Brocade Native", the Port ID format displays as
"Not applicable".
-t fabric_parameter Enables or disables negotiation of the fabric parameters. Valid values are:
1-enable, 2-disable.
-m port mode Specifies the Port mode. The -m option will enforce the same port mode for
all the ports connected to the same edge fabric. If -m option is selected, the
port mode will be compared against the online ports. If the modes are
different, an error message will be posted, and the command will fail. Valid
values are as follows:
0 Brocade Native mode.
1 McDATA Open Fabric mode.
2 McDATA Fabric mode.
Note that this mapping between mode values and modes is NOT the same as
the mapping used when setting interoperability modes with the interopMode,
command.
