Persistently disabling ports

Ports used on an FCIP tunnel must be persistently disabled before you can configure FCIP tunnels. you must
change their state from persistently disabled to persistently enabled.
1. Enter the portCfgShow command to view ports that are persistently disabled.
2. After identifying the ports, enter the portCfgPersistentDisable command to disable any ports
that you will use in the FCIP tunnel configuration.

Configuring VEX ports

If you are going to use a VEX port in your tunnel configuration, use the portCfgVexport command to
configure the port as a VEX port. Remember that a VEX port must be paired with a VE port. VEX ports
cannot communicate with other VEX ports. The command syntax is as follows.
portcfgvexport [slot/]ge0|ge1 [-a 1|2] [-f fabricid] [-d domainid] [-p
1|2|3]
[-t 1|2]
Where:
slot
ge0|ge1
-a 1|2
-f fabricid
-d domainid
-p 1|2|3
-t 1|2
The number of a slot in a 4/256 SAN Director or DC SAN Backbone Director (short
name, DC Director) chassis that contains an FR4- 1 8i blade. This parameter does not
apply to the stand-alone 400 Multi-protocol Router.
The Ethernet port used by the tunnel (ge0 or ge1).
Enables or disables admin (1 to enable or 2 to disable).
The fabric ID (a number from 1 to 128).
The preferred Domain ID (a number from 1 to 239).
The port ID format (1 for core, 2 for extended edge, and 3 for native).
Specify 1 to enable or 2 to disable negotiate fabric parameters.
