Note: Enter commands in lowercase only; mixed case is for readability.

portCfgLPort

Configures a port as an L_Port.

Synopsis portcfglport [slotnumber/]portnumber locked_mode [private_mode] [duplex_mode]

Description Use this command to designate a port as an L_Port. The switch then only attempts to initialize that port

as an FL_Port. By default, the L_Port is a public L_Port. It could be set to private L_Port and the FLOGI

will be rejected. This configuration can be cleared but not set on VE/VEX_Ports.

The switch never attempts point-to-point (F_Port) initialization on the port.

ote

The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.

Operands The operands are as follows:

slotnumber For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to be configured,

followed by a slash (/).

portnumber Specify a port number to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use

switchShow to display a list of valid ports. This operand is optional; if omitted,

this command displays the L_Port conditions for all ports.

locked_mode Specify 1 to configure the specified port as a locked L_Port. Specify 0 to

deconfigure the specified port from its previous role as a locked L_Port. This

operand is required if portnumber is specified.

private_mode Specify 1 to configure the L_Port as a private L_Port. Specify 0 to configure the

L_Port as a normal public L_Port. This operand is optional; if omitted; the default

value of 0 is used. Private devices are supported only on SilkWorm 3250, 3850,

and 3900 and directors with FC2-16 and FC2-16 blades. For other switches and

blade types, option 1 is blocked.

duplex_mode Specify 2 to configure the specified port as a full-duplex L_Port with fairness.

Specify 1 to configure the L_Port as a half-duplex L_Port with fairness. Specify 0

to configure the L_Port as a full-duplex L_Port. This operand is optional; if

omitted, the default value of 0 is used.

If used without operands, this command reports the L_Port conditions for all ports present.
