Assigning An Fc Interface To An Fc Aggregation Group - HP 5920 SERIES Fc And Fcoe Configuration Manual

Step
3. Configure the mode of
the FC aggregate
interface.
4. (Optional.) Configure a
description for the FC
aggregate interface.
5. (Optional.) Configure
the expected
bandwidth for the FC
aggregate interface.
6. (Optional.) Restore the
default settings for the
FC aggregate
interface.
7. Bring up the FC
aggregate interface.
Assigning an FC interface to an FC aggregation
group
When you assign an FC interface to an FC aggregation group, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
An FC interface can be assigned to only one FC aggregation group.
•
Before you assign an FC interface to an FC aggregation group, use the shutdown command to shut
•
down the FC interface. After assigning the FC interface to the FC aggregation group, assign the
peer FC interface to the peer FC aggregation group and use the undo shutdown command to bring
up the local FC interface.
• Before you remove an FC interface from an FC aggregation group, use the shutdown command to
shut down the FC interface. After removing the FC interface from the FC aggregation group, remove
the peer FC interface from the peer FC aggregation group and use the undo shutdown command
to bring up the local FC interface.
After an FC interface is assigned to an FC aggregation group, the FC mode, trunk mode, trunk
•
VSAN, and access VSAN configurations of the FC interface are removed. Also, you cannot
configure these configurations for a member interface. After the FC interface is removed from the FC
aggregation group, the default settings of these configurations are used.
After an FC interface is assigned to an FC aggregation group, the FC interface uses the
•
configuration of the FC aggregate interface to perform link negotiation.
An FC aggregation group can have a maximum of eight member interfaces.
•
To assign an FC interface to an FC aggregation group:
Command

Remarks
•
An FCF switch supports E, F, and auto
modes. The default is auto mode.
•
An NPV switch supports F and NP modes.
The default is F mode.
By default, the description of an FC aggregate
interface is interface name Interface, for
example, SAN-Aggregation3 Interface.
The default setting is the interface baud rate
divided by 1000.
The baud rate of an FC aggregate interface is
the speed of the FC aggregate interface, which
is the sum of the speed of each Selected FC
interface.
N/A
By default, an FC aggregate interface is up.
