Chapter 23 Configuring FICON
Binding Port Numbers to PortChannels
Binding Port Numbers to PortChannels
You can bind (or associate) a PortChannel with a FICON port number to bring up that interface.
Binding Port Numbers to FCIP Interfaces
You can bind (or associate) an FCIP interface with a FICON port number to the selected PortChannel
interface.
Configuring FICON Ports
You can perform FICON configurations on a per-port address basis in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of
switches.
Even if a port is uninstalled, the port address-based configuration is accepted by the Cisco MDS switch.
This configuration is applied to the port when the port becomes installed.
FICON Information Refresh Note
When viewing FICON information through the Device Manager dialog boxes, you must manually
refresh the display by clicking the Refresh button in order to see the latest updates. This is true whether
you configure FICON through the CLI or through the Device Manager.
There is no automatic refresh of FICON information. This information would be refreshed so often that
it would affect performance.
Blocking Ports
If you block a port, the port is retained in the operationally down state. If you unblock a port, a port
initialization is attempted. When a port is blocked, data and control traffic is not allowed on that port.
Physical Fibre Channel port blocks will continue to transmit Off-Line State (OLS) primitive sequence
on a blocked port.
Note
The shutdown/no shutdown port state is independent of the block/no block port state. If a port is
shutdown, unblocking that port will not initialize the port.
Caution
You cannot block or prohibit CUP port (0XFE).
