portCfg
22
Valid modes for mirrorport include the following:
--disable
Disables the configuration. When disabled, a port cannot be a mirror port.
--enable
Enables the configuration. When the mirror port feature is enabled to a port, a
mirror connection can use this port to mirror traffic.
EXAMPLES To enable a mirror port configuration:
switch:admin> portcfg mirrorport 2/4 --enable
Please confirm enable of Mirror Port (Y,y,N,n):[n] y
To configure a range of ports as RSCN-suppressed:
switch:admin> portcfg rscnsupr 2/4-7 --enable
FUNCTION Commands supported on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 and the Brocade FR4-18i platforms
SYNOPSIS portcfg action [slot/] ge_port arguments
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure the local IP interfaces and static routes on the Brocade 7800/FX8-24 and
on the Brocade FR4-18i blade. You must configure the local IP interfaces before you can create and
configure FCIP tunnels. You can also create a VLAN configuration at the IP interface on the Brocade
7800/FX8-24. The configuration procedures described in this section are essentially the same.
• 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.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
slot
For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).
ge_port
Specifies the number of the GbE port to be configured. The GbE ports are
numbered ge0 - ge9 on the Brocade FX8-24 blade and ge0 - ge5 on the Brocade
7800 switch. The two 10GbE ports on the Brocade FX8-24 blade are numbered
xge0 and xge1. The two GbE ports on the Brocade FR4-18i are numbered ge0
and ge1. Use the switchShow command for a list of valid ports.
ipif
Defines the IP interface for both ports of a tunnel.
On the Brocade 7800 and FX8-24, up to eight IP interfaces per GbE port are
supported, but only 4 FCIP circuits can be configured on a single GbE port. Up to
10 IP interfaces and 10 FCIP circuits are supported on the 10GbE port. In Fabric
OS v7.0.0 and later, these circuits are not limited to a single 10GbE port. Rather,
they can be distributed across both 10GbE ports.
On the Brocade FR4-18i, up to eight IP interfaces per GbE port are supported.
The IP network connection is configured by defining IP interfaces for origin and
destination virtual ports, and then defining one or more IP routes to connect them.
The syntax for portCfg ipif is as follows:
portcfg ipif [slot/]ge_port option args [optional_args]
