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 configuration mode.
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
Configures the description of the interface. The string can
be up to 80 characters long.
Clears the description of the interface.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects the specified interface and enters interface configuration mode.
You cannot configure the port speed of a virtual Fibre Channel
Note
interface.
Configures the port speed of the interface to 1000 Mbps.
The number indicates the speed in megabits per second (Mbps). You can
set the speed to 1000 (for 1-Gbps interfaces), 2000 (for 2-Gbps interfaces),
4000 (for 4-Gbps interfaces), or auto (default).
