portCfg
The IP network connection is configured by defining IP interfaces for origin and destination
virtual ports, and then defining one or more IP routes to connect them. The syntax for
portCfg ipif is as follows:
portcfg ipif [slot/]ge_port option args [optional_args]
Valid options and arguments for ipif include the following:
create src_ipaddr netmask mtu [mask] mtu_size vlan [vlan_id]
Creates IP interfaces. Specify the following:
src_ipaddr
Specifies source IP address in either IPv6 or IPv4 format:
src_IPv6_addr/prefix_len
Specifies the source IPv6 address of the port if IPv6 is used. The address must be an
IPv6 global, unicast address, followed by a prefix. This is used for IPv6 addresses
instead of a netmask. The prefix_len operator is required. Refer to the Fabric OS
Extension Administrator's Guide for more information on IPv6 rules and restrictions.
src_IPv4_addr netmask [mask]
Specifies the source IPv4 address of the port, if IPv4 is used. If an IPv4 address is
used, the subnet mask must be specified as well (in a.b.c.d. format). The CIDR notation
for IPv4 addresses can also be used.
mtu [mtu_size]
Specifies the maximum transmission unit size. The permitted range is 1260 Bytes to
1500 Bytes for Brocade 7800 switch and FX8-24 blade, and 1280 Bytes to 9216
Bytes or 'auto' to enable PMTU discovery for Brocade 7840 switch and the Brocade
SX6 extension blade. This operand is optional.
vlan [vlan_id]
Specifies the VLAN ID. This operand is optional and currently supported on the
Brocade 7840 and the Brocade SX6 extension blade only.
-x | --crossport
Configures an interface for a failover crossport. A crossport is defined as the nonlocal
(secondary) XGE port to a VE_Port group that provides failover capabilities for the
tunnel configured on the local XGE port. For VE_Ports 12-21, xge1 is the local XGE port
and xge0 is the crossport. For VE_Ports 22-31, xge0 is the local XGE port and xge1 is
the crossport. This operand is optional and supported only on the Brocade FX8-24
XGE ports.
delete ipaddr
Deletes IP interfaces. Specify the IPv6 or IPv4 address of the virtual port.
iproute
Defines static IP routes on a GbE port or on a 10GbE port. After defining the IP interface on
the remote switch, you can define destination routes for an interface. You cannot use this
command to configure routes for inband management; use portCfg mgmtroute instead.
The syntax for portcfg iproute is as follows:
portcfg iproute [slot/]ge_port option args [optional_args]
