Disabling compression
To disable compression on a port, follow these steps:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions, or an account with
OM permissions for the SwitchPortConfiguration RBAC class of commands.
2. Disable the port on which you want to disable compression. Use the portDisable
command.Enter the portCfgCompress
--
disable command.
This example disables compression on port 21 on a Brocade 6510 switch:
portcfgcompress --disable 21
This example disables compression on port 15 of an FC16-32 blade in slot 9 of an enterprise
class platform:
portcfgcompress --disable 9/15
3. Enable the port with the portEnable command.
After enabling the port, the new configuration becomes active.
Encryption and compression example
The following example shows configuring and enabling encryption and compression.In this case,
encryption and compression are applied to the E_Ports at either end of and ISL connecting a port
on a blade in an enterprise class platform named myDCX to a port on a Brocade 6510 switch
named myswitch.
Table 59 identifies each end of the ISL connection by device name, device WWN,
and port number.
The example includes the following steps:
•
Setting up authentication to permit key generation
•
Enabling encryption
•
Enabling compression
•
Disabling encryption
•
Disabling compression
