Figure 1. S4148U-ON unied port groups
To enable a Fibre Channel interface:
1 Congure a unied 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 unied port group for FC operation in PORT-GROUP mode. The available FC modes depend on the switch.
mode fc {32g-2x | 32g-1x | 16g-4x | 16g-2x |8g-4x}
• 8g-4x — Split a unied port group into four 8 GFC interfaces.
• 16g-2x — Split a unied port group into two 16 GFC interfaces.
• 16g-4x — Split a unied port group into four 16 GFC interfaces; supports 4x32GFC oversubscription.
• 32g-1x — Split a unied port group into one 32 GFC interface.
• 32g-2x — Split a unied port group into two 32 GFC interfaces.
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) Recongure the interface speed for oversubscription in INTERFACE mode. Oversubscription allows a port to operate faster
for bursty storage trac.
speed {8 | 16 | 32 | auto}
6 Enable the FC interface in INTERFACE mode.
