3Com Switch 4500 Family - Fabric-Port Enable

1-10
6 000f-cbb7-3264 10 Left/ 1 A
7 000f-cbb7-2260 10 /Right 1 A
8 000f-cbb7-2734 10 Left/ 1 A
From the above example, you can see the priority of each unit restores to 10 and the numbering mode
changes from M (manual numbering) to A (automatic numbering).

Parameters
interface-type interface-number: Type and port number of a fabric port.
z On a Switch 4500-26Port switch, only four GigabitEthernet ports can be configured as fabric ports:
GigabitEthernet 1/0/25, GigabitEthernet 1/0/26, GigabitEthernet 1/0/27, and GigabitEthernet
1/0/28.
z On a Switch 4500-50Port switch, only four GigabitEthernet ports can be configured as fabric ports:
GigabitEthernet 1/0/49, GigabitEthernet 1/0/50, GigabitEthernet 1/0/51, and GigabitEthernet
1/0/52.
Description
Use the fabric-port enable command to configure a specified port as a fabric port.
Use the undo fabric-port enable command to disable the fabric port function for a port. When the last
fabric port on a switch is disabled, the fabric function is disabled globally.
The four ports on
a Switch 4500-26Port (Switch 4500-50Port) series Ethernet switch fall into two
groups according to their port numbers:
z GigabitEthernet 1/0/25(49) and GigabitEthernet 1/0/26(50) form the first group.
z GigabitEthernet 1/0/27(51) and GigabitEthernet 1/0/28(52) form the second group.
Only one group of ports can be configured as fabric ports at a time. Given a group, either
GigabitEthernet 1/0/25(49) or GigabitEthernet 1/0/27(51) can be configured as the left fabric port, and
either GigabitEthernet 1/0/26(50) or GigabitEthernet 1/0/28(52) can be configured as the right fabric
port.
