Chapter 1 Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces
Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces
To configure a range of interfaces, perform this task:
Setting the Interface Administrative State
To gracefully shut down an interface, perform this task:
To enable traffic flow, perform this task:
Configuring Interface Modes
To configure the interface mode, perform this task:
Command
Purpose
Step 1
switch#
configuration terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)#
interface fc

or
switch(config)#
interface vfc

[
, vfc

-
vfc-id
]
Selects the range of Fibre Channel interfaces and enters
interface configuration mode.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
switch#
configuration terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)#
interface
{
fc
slot
/
port
}|{
vfc
vfc-id
}
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
Step 3
switch(config-if)#
shutdown
Gracefully shuts down the interface and administratively
disables traffic flow (default).
Command
Purpose
Step 1
switch#
configuration terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)#
interface
{
fc
slot
/
port
}|{
vfc
vfc-id
}
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
Step 3
switch(config-if)#
no shutdown
Enables traffic flow to administratively allow traffic
when the
no
prefix is used (provided the operational state
is up).
A virtual Fibre Channel interface becomes operational if
the bound Ethernet interface is operational and its STP
port state is active.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
switch#
configuration terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)#
interface
{
fc
slot
/
port
}|{
vfc
vfc-id
}
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
