portCfgLPort
Configures a port as an L_Port.
Synopsis portcfglport [[slot/]port] locked_mode [private_mode] [duplex_mode]]
Description Use this command to designate a port as an L_Port, and to configure its behavior. When a port is
designated as an L_Port, the switch attempts to initialize that port as a fabric L_Port (FL_Port). The
switch will never attempt a point-to-point (F_Port) initialization on the port. By default the L_Port will
be a public L_Port. It can be configured as a private L_Port, in which case it will reject fabric login
(FLOGI).
Notes This configuration can be cleared but not set on VE/VEX_Ports.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, “Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions” and Appendix A, “Command Availability”
for details.
Operands When invoked without operands, this command reports the L_Port conditions for all ports present.
The following operands are supported:
slot For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
port 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
remove the locked L_Port configuration from the port (default). This operand
is required if port 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 regular public L_Port. This operand is optional; if omitted; the
default value of 0 is used. Private devices are supported only on Brocade
enterprise-class platforms with FC2-16 and FC2-16 blades. On all other
platforms, 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.
Examples To configure ports 8, 14, and 15 as locked L_Ports:
switch:admin> portcfglport 4/8 4/14-15, 1
switch:admin> portcfgshow
