3. Take the appropriate action based on the Persistent Disable setting:
• If it is set to OFF, proceed to step 4.
• If it is set to ON, issue the portCfgPersistentEnable command with the slot number and GbE
port number:
switch:admin> portcfgpersistentenable 10/ge0
4. Issue the portCfgShow command with the slot number and GbE port number to verify that the port is
persistently enabled.
In the following sample output, the Persistent Disable setting is set to OFF.
switch:admin> portcfgshow 10/ge0
Mode: ISCSI
Persistent Disable: OFF

Configuring the GbE interface
NOTE: You can set the TCP/IP parameters of a GbE port even when iSCSI gateway service is disabled.
Address resolution protocol (ARP) entries for the IP interfaces are created automatically when you verify the
network connectivity using the ping command. You can add additional ARP entries if you wish.
As an option, you can define static routes to reach the destination IP through a preferred gateway. The
gateway must be on the same subnet as the GbE port. You can specify a maximum of 32 routes per GbE
port.
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Issue the portCfg command as follows to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and maximum packet
size of the interface:
switch:admin> portcfg ipif 3/ge0 create 30.0.127.30 255.255.0.0 8256
NOTE: 1500 bytes is the standard maximum packet size in an IP network. If your network supports jumbo
packets, a value of 8256 can improve performance. The range allowed is 1500 to 8256 KB.
3. Issue the portShow command to verify the settings:
switch:admin> portshow ipif 3/ge0
Slot: 3 Port: ge0
