Configuring encryption and compression

Configuring compression
Before performing this procedure, it is recommended that you check for port availability using the
portEncCompShow command. See “Viewing the encryption and compression configuration” on
page 313 for details.
To configure compression on a port, follow these steps:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions, or an account with
OM permissions for the SwitchPortConfiguration RBAC class of commands.
2. Disable the port on which you want to configure compression. Use the portDisable command.
3. Enter the portCfgCompress
--enable command.
This example enables compression on port 21 on a Brocade 6510 switch:
portcfgcompress --enable 21
This example enables compression on port 15 of an FC16-32 blade in slot 9 of an enterprise
class platform:
portcfgcompress --enable 9/15
4. Enable the port with the portEnable command.
After enabling the port, the new configuration becomes active.
Disabling encryption
To disable encryption on a port, follow these steps:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with secure admin permissions, or an
account with OM permissions for the EncryptionConfiguration RBAC class of commands.
2. Disable the port on which you want to disable encryption. Use the portDisable command.
3. Enter the portCfgEncrypt
--disable command.
This example disables encryption on port 21 on a Brocade 6510 switch:
portcfgencrypt --disable 21
This example disables encryption on port 15 of an FC16-32 blade in slot 9 of an enterprise
class platform:
portcfgencrypt --disable 9/15
4. Enable the port with the portEnable command.
After enabling the port, the new configuration becomes active.
