Syntax
type portNumber portType
Purpose
This command sets the allowed type for a port.
Description
A port can be configured as an F_Port, an E_Port, or a G_Port. On an Edge Switch
2/12 or 2/24, a port can also be an Fx_Port or Gx_Port.
On the Edge Switch 2/12, the E_Port, G_Port, and Gx_Port options are not valid,
unless the Fabric Capable feature is enabled. For more information, see the Edge
Switch 2/12 Installation Guide.
The port configurations function as follows:
■ F_Port—cannot be used as an interswitch link, but may attach to a device with
an N_Port.
■ E_Port—only other switch may attach to this type of port.
■ G_Port—either a device or another switch may attach to this type of port.
■ Fx_Port — allows arbitrated loop operation in addition to the functionality of
an F_Port. (Edge Switch 2/12 or 2/24 only.)
■ Gx_Port—allows arbitrated loop operation in addition to the functionality of
an F_Port or an E_Port. (Edge Switch 2/12 or 2/24 only.)
