Configuring Port Speeds

Port speed can be configured on a physical Fibre Channel interface but not on a virtual Fibre Channel interface.
By default, the port speed for an interface is automatically calculated by the switch.
Changing the interface speed is a disruptive operation.
Caution
To configure the port speed of the interface, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configuration terminal
2. switch(config)# interface fc slot/port
3. switch(config-if)# switchport speed 1000
4. switch(config-if)# no switchport speed

Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Identifies the slot on the switch.
Configures a unified port as a native Fibre Channel port and an
Ethernet port.
• type—Specifies the type of port to configure on a slot in a
chassis.
• ethernet—Specifies an Ethernet port.
• fc—Specifies a Fibre Channel (FC) port.
Changing unified ports on an expansion module (GEM)
Note
requires that you power cycle the GEM card. You do not
have to reboot the entire switch for changes to take effect.
Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration.
Reboots the switch.
Identifies the slot on the switch.
Removes the unified port.
