Changes switch configuration settings.
Synopsis configure
Description Use this command to change switch configuration settings.
Beginning with Fabric OS v6.2.0, configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch
information. Each configuration type is managed separately. For information on file format and
specific parameters contained in each section, refer to the configUpload help page.
The behavior of configure depends on the environment in which the command is executed:
• In a Virtual Fabric environment, the configure command sets switch configuration parameters
for the current logical switch only. If a switch or chassis is configured with multiple logical
switches, you must configure each logical switch separately. Use setContext to change the
current logical switch context.
• In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, the configure command sets switch configuration
parameters.
To configure chassis-wide parameters, use the configureChassis command.
The following switch configuration parameters can be set with the configure command:
• Switch fabric parameters
• Virtual channel parameters
• F_Port login parameters
• Zoning operation parameters
• Remote State Change Notifications (RSCN) transmission mode
• Arbitrated Loop parameters
• System Services settings
• Portlog Events enable or disable settings
• Secure Socket Layer (SSL) attributes
• Remote Procedure Call Daemon (RPCD) attributes
• WebTools attributes
To access all parameters controlled by this command, you must disable the switch using the
switchDisable command. If executed on an enabled switch, only a subset of attributes are
configurable.
Notes The Telnet interface is no longer configurable with this command. Use the ipFilter command to
enable or disable the Telnet interface.
The SNMP attributes are no longer configurable with this command. Use snmpConfig --set
seclevel to configure SNMP attributes.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
