Specifying a data port
The port address format is slot/port, where:
• slot --Specifies the interface slot number. Range is from 1 to 8 (FSX 800) or 1 to 16 (FSX 1600).
• port --Specifies the port number in the slot. Range is from 1 to 48 depending on the interface module.
This example shows how to specify port 2 in slot 1:
Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 1/2
Specifying a management port
The management port number is always 1. This example shows how to specify the management port:
Brocade (config) # interface management 1
NOTE
Stacking is not supported on FSX devices.
Assigning port names
You can assign text strings as port names, which help you identify ports with meaningful names. You
can assign port names to individual ports or to a group of ports. You can assign a port name to physical
ports, virtual interfaces, and loopback interfaces.
Assigning a port name
To assign a name to a port, enter commands such as the following:
device(config)# interface ethernet 2
device(config-if-e1000-2)# port-name Marsha
Syntax: port-name text
The text parameter is an alphanumeric string. The name can be up to 255 characters long. The name
can contain blanks. You do not need to use quotation marks around the string, even when it contains
blanks. The port name can contain special characers as well, but the percentage character (%), if it
appears at the end of the port name, is dropped.
Assigning the same name to multiple ports
To assign a name to a range of ports, enter commands such as the following:
Brocade (config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/10
Brocade (config-mif-1/1/1-1/1/10)# port-name connected-to-the nearest device
Syntax: [no] port-name text
To remove the assigned port name, use no form of the command.
The text parameter is an alphanumeric string, up to 255 characters long. The name can contain blanks.
You do not need to use quotation marks around the string, even when it contains blanks.
