When configuring these host-optimized ports, the following port mode guidelines apply:

Note In the Cisco MDS 9100 Series, the left most groups of ports outlined in white (4 ports in the 9120 switch
and 8 ports in the 9140 switch) are full line rate like the 16-port switching module. The other ports (16
ports in the 9120 switch and 32 ports in the 9140 switch) are host-optimized like the 32-port switching
module. Each group of 4 host-optimized ports have the same rules as for the 32-port switching module.

Configuring Fibre Channel Interface

To configure a Fibre Channel interface, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc1/1
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

Graceful Shut Down

Interfaces on a port are shut down by default (unless you modified the initial configuration).
OL-6973-03, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.x
You can configure only the first port in each 4-port group (for example, the first port in ports 1-4,
the fifth port in ports 5-8 and so on) as an E port. If the first port in the group is configured as an E
port, the other three ports in each group (ports 2-4, 6-8 and so on) are not usable and remain
shutdown.
If any of the other three ports are enabled, you cannot configure the first port as an E port. The other
three ports continue to remain enabled.
The auto mode is the default port mode. The auto mode is not allowed in a 32-port switching module
or the host-optimized ports in the Cisco 9100 Series (16 host-optimized ports in the Cisco MDS
9120 switch and 32 host-optimized ports in the Cisco MDS 9140 switch).
The default port mode is Fx (Fx negotiates to F or FL) for 32-port switching modules and the
host-optimized ports in the Cisco 9100 Series (16 host-optimized ports in the Cisco MDS 9120
switch and 32 host-optimized ports in the Cisco MDS 9140 switch).
The 32-port switching module does not support FICON.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the specified interface.
When a Fibre Channel interface is configured, it is
Note
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).
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the range of specified interfaces.
