src_IPv6_addr/prefix_len
Specifies the source IPv6 address of the virtual 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 Fibre Channel over IP Administrator's Guide for more
information on IPv6 rules and restrictions.
src_IPv4_addr netmask [mask]
Specifies the source IPv4 address of the virtual 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_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 1260
Bytes to 9216 Bytes for Brocade 7840 switch. This operand is optional.
vlan [vlan_id]
Specifies the VLAN ID. This operand is optional and currently supported on
the Brocade 7840 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.
A maximum of 32 user-configurable routes per GbE/10GbE port are supported.
You cannot use this command to configure routes for inband management; use
portCfg mgmtroute instead. In Fabric OS v7.0.0, you can use this command to
configure an iproute for a XGE port configured as a failover crossport. This feature
is supported only on the FX8-24.
The syntax for portcfg iproute is as follows:
portcfg iproute [slot/]ge_port option args [optional_args]
Valid options and arguments for iproute include the following:
create dest_ipaddr netmask [mask] [gateway_router]
Creates an IP route. Specify the following:
dest_ipaddr
Specifies the destination IP address in either IPv6 or IPv4 format:
dest_IPv6_addr/prefix_len
Specifies the destination IPv6 address of the virtual 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 operand is
required.
dest_IPv4_addr netmask [mask]
Specifies the destination IPv4 address of the virtual port, if IPv4 is used. If an
IPv4 address is used, the subnet mask must be specified as well. Use
a.b.c.d. format. The CIDR notation for IPv4 addresses can also be used.
