Configuring a Fibre Channel Interface

To configure a Fibre Channel interface, perform these steps:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode:
switch# configure terminal
Step 2 Select a Fibre Channel interface and enter interface configuration submode:
switch(config)# interface fc 1/1
When a Fibre Channel interface is configured, it is automatically assigned a unique world wide name (WWN). If the
interface's operational state is up, it is also assigned a Fibre Channel ID (FC ID).

Configuring a Range of Fibre Channel Interfaces

To configure a range of interfaces, perform these steps:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode:
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Select the range of Fibre Channel interfaces and enter interface configuration submode3:
switch(config)# interface fc1/1 - 4 , fc2/1 - 3
Note When using this command, provide a space before and after the comma.
