Configuring FC interfaces
An FC interface connects to a node (server or disk) or FC switch for transmitting and receiving FC frames.
To connect to an FC interface of a peer device, you must use an FC interface.
An FC interface can operate in E_Port, F_Port, NP_Port, or auto mode.
Changing the port type between a Layer 2 Ethernet
interface and an FC interface
Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces can be changed to FC interfaces.

an FC interface.
port-type fc
This command deletes the original Layer 2
Ethernet interface, creates an FC interface, and
leads you to the FC interface view. The new FC
interface has the same interface number as the
Layer 2 Ethernet interface.
