portCfg
Manages port configuration parameters for FC ports, VE_ports, and GbE/10GbE ports.
SYNOPSIS portcfg action [slot/] port arguments
portcfg action [slot/] ge_port arguments
portcfg action [slot/]ve_port options arguments
portcfg action [slot/][ge_port options arguments
DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage port configuration parameters on FC ports as well as on Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) ports on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 and on the Brocade FR4-18i.
You must use this command in a manner that honors the platform-specific differences in command
syntax and behavior. Some command options are not available on all platforms. Others behave
differently depending on the platform on which they are executed.
Platform specific commands are documented in separate sections that include function, synopsis,
description, operands and examples. Use the following section headings to navigate this page.
Commands supported on all platforms
• portcfg mirrorport - Configure a mirror port on the local FC port.
• portcfg rscnsupr - Manage registered state change notification (RSCN) suppression on the local
port.
Commands supported on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 and the Brocade FR4-18i platforms
• portcfg ipif - Configure the local IP interfaces
• portcfg iproute - Configure a static route on the IP interface.
• portcfg vlantag - Manage the IP interface VLAN configuration for FCIP.
Commands supported only on the Brocade 7800 and the Brocade FX8-24 platforms
• portcfg fciptunnel - Create, modify, and delete Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnels (although this
command is technically valid on the Brocade FR4-18i as well, the behavior is very different, and the
command is therefore described separately for each platform).
• portcfg fcipcircuit - Create, modify, and delete FCIP circuits.
• portcfg mgmtif - Creates the inband management interfaces.
• portcfg mgmtroute - Creates the routes for the inband management interfaces.
Commands supported only on the Brocade FR4-18i
• portcfg arp - Add and delete address resolution protocol (ARP) entries. Flush ARP table.
• portcfg fciptunnel - Create, modify, and delete Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnels (FCIP)
tunnels (although this command is technically valid on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 platforms as well,
the behavior is very different, and the command is therefore described separately for each platform).
• portcfg fastwrite - Configure the FC port for FC FastWrite.
• portcfg ficon - Manage FICON emulation in an FCIP tunnel.
To display the command usage on the switch, execute portcfg action without any further arguments.
NOTES In Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later, the Brocade FR4-18i and FX8-24 blades cannot co-exist in the same
chassis.
IPv6 addresses are supported except for inband management. IPV6 and IPSec cannot co-exist on port
XGE1.
