Configuring and viewing Fibre Channel port attributes
This section introduces the options for configuring a variety of Fibre Channel port attributes and
confirming the status of those attributes.
Using Fibre Channel port commands
Network OS v2.1.1 and later allows you to configure and display the following Fibre Channel port
attributes for an E_Port by using the commands shown below:
• Port speed — Enter the interface Fibre Channel configuration submode speed command to set the
speed of a Fibre Channel port.
• Fill word — Enter the interface Fibre Channel configuration submode fill-word command to
configure the link initialization and fill word primitives for an 8-gbps Fibre Channel port.
• Long distance mode — Enter the interface Fibre Channel configuration submode long-distance
command to configure the port for long-distance operations.
• VC link init — Enter the interface Fibre Channel configuration submode vc-link-init command to
configure the fill word for long-distance operation.
• Desired distance — Enter the interface Fibre Channel configuration submode desire-distance
command to configure manually the distance for a long-distance connection.
• Trunk port — Enter the interface Fibre Channel configuration submode trunk-enable command to
configure the port for trunking.
NOTE
Port trunking is not supported in Access Gateway Mode.
• Buffer credit control — Enter the interface Fibre Channel configuration submode isl-r_r-rdy
command to enable interswitch link receiver-ready (ISL R_RDY) mode on the port. Enter the
interface Fibre Channel configuration submode no isl-r_r-rdy command to disable ISL R_RDY
mode on the port. If ISL R_RDY is not set, then Inter-SwitchLink Virtual Channel ready (ISL
VC_RDY) mode is set by default.
ATTENTION
Setting ISL R_RDY is not recommended.
