Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
This example shows how to configure VE port 20 and bind it to Ethernet slot 1, port 3:
switch# config t
switch(config) # interface vfc 20
switch(config-if) # bind interface ethernet 1/3
switch(config-if) # switchport mode E
switch(config-if) # exit
switch#
This example shows the running configuration for vFC 20 bound to the Ethernet slot1,port 3 interface.
switch# show running-config
switch(config) # interface vfc20

Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
If this is a QSFP+ GEM, the slot/port syntax
Note
is slot/QSFP-module/port.
Gracefully shuts down the interface and
administratively disables traffic flow (default).
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Selects a virtual Fibre Channel interface and
enters interface configuration mode.
Sets the port mode.
vFC interfaces support modes F, E, or NP.
SD ports cannot be configured
Note
automatically. They must be
administratively configured.
