Fibre Channel port activation and deactivation

Fibre Channel port activation and deactivation
An FCoE license must be installed on a Brocade VDX 6730 switch to allow Fibre Channel port
activation. Brocade VCS Fabric mode must be enabled. Once the FCoE license is installed, all Fibre
Channel ports are activated by default. Refer to Chapter 7, “Administering Licenses,” for details
about installing the FCoE license.
The element for each instance controls whether the Fibre Channel port is
activated. This element is of type empty, so activation is controlled by deleting or inserting this
element.
Enabling a Fibre Channel port
Whether a specific Fibre Channel port is enabled is controlled by the element for the
specific instance. The element is of type empty. To enable a port, delete the
element in the associated instance.
To enable a Fibre Channel port, perform the following steps.
1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.
2. Under the node, include the node element.
3. Specify values for the following elements in the instance.
a. In the element, identify the port you want to enable. Identify the port by
rbridge-ID/slot/port.
b. In the element, include the delete operation in the element tag.
The following example enables port 4 on routing bridge 8.
