DESCRIPTION
Use this command to manage port configuration parameters on FC ports as well as on Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) ports on the Brocade 7800 and Brocade 7840 switches and on the Brocade FX8-24 blade.
You must use this command in a manner that honors the platform-specific differences in command
syntax and behavior. Some command options are not available on all platforms. Others behave
differently depending on the platform on which they are executed. Use the following section headings to
navigate this page.
Commands supported on all platforms
• portcfg mirrorport - Configure a mirror port on the local FC port.
•
portcfg rscnsupr - Manage registered state change notification (RSCN) suppression on the local
port.
Configure IP interfaces on the Brocade 7800 and Brocade 7840 switches and Brocade FX8-24
blade.
• 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. This command is suppoted
on Brocade 7800 switch and FX8-24 blade.
• portcfg ipsec-policy - Include the IPsec policy. Currently supported on the Brocade 7840 only.
Configure tunnels, circuits, and management interfaces on the Brocade 7800 and Brocade 7840
switches and Brocade FX8-24 blade.
• portcfg fciptunnel - Create, modify, and delete Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnels
• portcfg fcipcircuit - Create, modify, and delete FCIP circuits.

NOTES
IPv6 addresses are supported except for inband management. IP Security enabled FCIP Tunnels cannot
use IPv6 circuits on Brocade 7800 switch and FX8-24 blade.
In Fabric OS v7.0.0, the restrictions on addressing have been lifted. An IPv4 subnet can span multiple
GbE interfaces, and you can now have multiple IPv6 addresses with the same prefix configured on
different GbE interfaces on the same extension switch or blade.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
Some of the features supported by this command may require a license.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
