Figure 5. MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine — Unified port groups
1. Configure a unified port group in CONFIGURATION mode. Enter 1/1 for node/slot. The port-group range depends on the
switch.
port-group node/slot/port-group
2. Activate the unified port group for FC operation in PORT-GROUP mode. The available FC modes depend on the switch.
mode fc {32g-4x | 32g-2x | 32g-1x | 16g-4x}
● 16g-4x — Split a unified port group into four 16 GFC interfaces.
● 32g-1x — Split a unified port group into one 32 GFC interface. A 1x-32G interface has a rate limit of 28G.
● 32g-2x — Split a unified port group into two 32 GFC interfaces.
● 32g-4x — Split a unified port group into four 32 GFC interfaces. Each 4x-32GE breakout interface has a rate limit of
25G.
3. Return to CONFIGURATION mode.
exit
4. Enter FC Interface mode to enable data transmission. Enter a single interface, a hyphen-separated range, or multiple
interfaces separated by commas.
interface fibrechannel node/slot/port[:subport]
5. (Optional) Reconfigure the interface speed in INTERFACE mode.
speed {8 | 16 | 32 | auto}
6. Apply vfabric configuration on the interface. For more information about vfabric configuration, see Virtual fabric.
vfabric fabric-ID
7. Enable the FC interface in INTERFACE mode.
