Binding Port Numbers to PortChannels

All port number assignments to PortChannels or FCIP interfaces are lost (cannot be retrieved) when
Caution
FICON is disabled on all VSANs.
You can bind (or associate) a PortChannel with a FICON port number to bring up that interface.
To bind a PortChannel with a FICON port number, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface Port-channel 1
switch(config-if)#
Step 3
switch(config-if)# ficon portnumber 234

Binding Port Numbers to FCIP Interfaces

You can bind (or associate) an FCIP interface with a FICON port number to bring up that interface.
To bind an FCIP interface with a FICON port number, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch1(config)# interface fcip 51
switch1(config-if)#
Step 3
switch(config-if)# ficon portnumber 208

Configuring Port Blocking

If you block a port, the port is retained in the operationally down state. If you unblock a port, a port
initialization is attempted. When a port is blocked, data and control traffic are not allowed on that port.
Physical Fibre Channel port blocks will continue to transmit an Off-line state (OLS) primitive sequence
on a blocked port.
