portCfgCompress
Configures a port for compression.
SYNOPSIS portcfgcompress --enable [slot]/port
portcfgcompress --disable [slot]/port
portcfgcompress --help
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure a port for compression. This command enables or disables the
compression configuration on the specified port, and saves the configuration persistently.
Configuring a port for compression is disruptive. You must disable the port before you can enable
compression on the port. This command fails on an enabled port.
The number of configurable ports is limited per ASIC. A message will be displayed once the maximum
number is exceeded. Use the portEncCompShow for a listing of configurable ports per ASIC.
NOTES This command is supported only on E_Ports. An E_Port can be enabled for compression and for
encryption at the same time.
When you move a configured port to another logical switch, you are informed that the operation requires
the port configuration to be disabled. You are given the choice to cancel the move or to continue. If you
want to go ahead with the move and the port is configured for encryption or compression, you must
disable the configuration prior to moving the port. You must reconfigure the port on the target switch if
you want to use compression or encryption on that port.
This command is supported only on Condor 3-based platforms running Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later with the
exception of the Brocade 6505 switch and the Brocade FC8-32E and Brocade FC8-48E port blades.
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.
