portCfg

mtu_size

Specifies the maximum transmission unit size. The permitted range is 1260
Bytes to 1500 Bytes. This operand is required.

-x | --crossport

Configures an interface for a failover crossport. A crossport is defined as the
nonlocal (secondary) XGE port to a VE_Port group that provides failover
capabilities for the tunnel configured on the local XGE port. For VE_Ports
12-21, xge1 is the local XGE port and xge0 is the crossport. For VE_Ports
22-31, xge0 is the local XGE port and xge1 is the crossport. This operand is
optional and supported only on the Brocade FX8-24 XGE ports.

delete ipaddr

Deletes IP interfaces. Specify the IPv6 or IPv4 address of the virtual port.

iproute

Defines static IP routes on a GbE port or on a 10GbE port. After defining the IP
interface on the remote switch, you can define destination routes for an interface.
A maximum of 32 user-configurable routes per GbE/10GbE port are supported.
You cannot use this command to configure routes for inband management; use
portCfg mgmtroute instead. In Fabric OS v7.0.0, you can use this command to
configure an iproute for a XGE port configured as a failover crossport. This feature
is supported only on the FX8-24.

The syntax for portcfg iproute is as follows:

portcfg iproute [slot/]ge_port option args [optional_args]

Valid options and arguments for iproute include the following:

create dest_ipaddr [netmask] [gateway_router] metric

Creates an IP route. Specify the following:

dest_ipaddr

Specifies the destination IP address in either IPv6 or IPv4 format:

dest_IPv6_addr/prefix_len

Specifies the destination IPv6 address of the virtual port, if IPv6 is used. The
address must be an IPv6 global, unicast address, followed by a prefix. This is
used for IPv6 addresses instead of a netmask. The prefix_len operand is
required.

dest_IPv4_addr netmask

Specifies the destination IPv4 address of the virtual port, if IPv4 is used. If an
IPv4 address is used, the subnet mask must be specified as well. Use
a.b.c.d. format.

gateway_router

Specifies the IP address of an IP router that can route packets to the
destination virtual port IP address. The gateway address must be on the
same IP subnet as one of the port IP addresses. This operand is optional with
IPv6 addresses. If not specified, the gateway_router learned from the
Neighbor Discovery protocol is used.

-x | --crossport

Configures an IP route for a failover crossport. A crossport is defined as the
nonlocal (secondary) XGE port to a VE_Port group that provides failover
capabilities for the tunnel configured on the local XGE port. For VE_Ports
12-21, xge1 is the local XGE port and xge0 is the crossport. For VE_Ports
22-31, xge0 is the local XGE port and xge1 is the crossport. This operand is
optional and supported only on the Brocade FX8-24 XGE ports.
