Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces

To configure a Fibre Channel interface, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc1/1
switch(config-if)#
To configure a range of interfaces, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc1/1 - 4 , fc2/1 - 3
switch(config-if)#
For the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM
BladeCenter, you can configure a range of interfaces among internal ports or external ports, but you
cannot mix both interface types within the same range. For example, "bay 1-10, bay 12" or "ext 0, ext
15-18" are valid ranges, but "bay 1-5, ext 15-17" is not.
