Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces
Configuring a Fibre Channel Interface
To configure a Fibre Channel interface, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
switch(config)# interface {fc
slot/port}|{vfc vfc-id}
Step 2
When a Fibre Channel interface is configured, it is
automatically assigned a unique world wide name
(WWN). If the interface’s operational state is up, it is
also assigned a Fibre Channel ID (FC ID).
Note
If this is a QSFP+ GEM, the slot/port syntax is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
Note
Configuring a Range of Fibre Channel Interfaces
To configure a range of Fibre Channel interfaces, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Selects the range of Fibre Channel interfaces and
enters interface configuration mode.
switch(config)# interface { fc slot/port -
port [ , fc slot/port - port ] | vfc vfc-id - vfc-id
[ , vfc vfc-id - vfc-id ] }
Step 2
If this is a QSFP+ GEM, the slot/port
syntax is slot/QSFP-module/port.
