Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch(config)# interface Port-channel 1
switch(config-if)#
Enters the PortChannel interface configuration mode.
Step 3 switch(config-if)# ficon portnumber 234

Binding Port Numbers to FCIP Interfaces
You can bind (or associate) an FCIP interface with a FICON port number to bring up that interface.
To bind an FCIP interface with a FICON port number, follow these steps:
Step 1 switch# config t
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch1(config)# interface fcip 51
switch1(config-if)#
Creates an FCIP interface (51).
Step 3 switch(config-if)# ficon portnumber 208
Assigns the FICON port number to the selected FCIP interface.
Configuring Port Blocking
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 are not allowed on that port.
Physical Fibre Channel port blocks will continue to transmit an Off-line state (OLS) primitive sequence on a
blocked port.
The zoning devices within a FICON VSAN can conflict with currently prohibited FICON ports and should
not be used. IBM does not recommend using zoning and port prohibition within the same VSAN.
