or
set config ports [port_number]
Operands
port [port_number]
Initiates an edit session in which to change configuration parameters for the port number given
by [port_number]. If you omit [port_number], the system begins with port 0 and proceeds in
order through the last port. For each parameter, enter a new value or press Enter to accept the
current value shown in brackets. Enter q to end the configuration for one port, or qq to end the
configuration for all ports. Table 33 describes the port configuration parameters.
ports [port_number]
Initiates an editing session in which to change configuration parameters for all ports based on
the configuration for the port given by [port_number]. If you omit [port_number], port 0 is used.
For each parameter, enter a new value or press Enter to accept the current value shown in

Parameter Description
AdminState Port administrative state:
• Online—Activates and prepares the port to send data. This is the
default.
• Offline—Prevents the port from receiving signal and accepting a
device login.
• Diagnostics—Prepares the port for testing and prevents the port from
accepting a device login.
• Down—Disables the port by removing power from the port lasers.
LinkSpeed Transmission speed: 2 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, 8 Gb/s, or Auto. The default is
Auto. 8-Gb/s SFPs do not support the 1-Gb/s setting. Settting a port to
1 Gb/s that has an 8-Gb/s SFP will down the port.
PortType GL, G, F, FL, TR, Donor. The default is GL.
SymbolicPortName Descriptive name for the port. The name can be up to 32 characters
excluding #, semicolon (;), and comma (,). The default is Port n, where
n is the port number.
ALFairness Arbitration loop fairness. Enables (True) or disables (False) the
switch’s priority to arbitrate on the loop. The default is False.
DeviceScanEnabled Enables (True) or disables (False) the scanning of the connected
device for FC-4 descriptor information during login. The default is True.
ForceOfflineRSCN Enables (False) or disables (True) the immediate transmission of
Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) messages when
communication between a port and a device is interrupted. If enabled,
the RSCN message is delayed for 200 ms for locally attached devices
and 400 ms for devices connected through other switches. The default is
False. This parameter is ignored if IOStreamGuard is enabled.
