Installed and Uninstalled Ports

An installed port refers to a port for which all required hardware is present. A specified port number in
a VSAN can be implemented, and yet not installed, if any of the following conditions apply:
•
•
•
•

FICON Port Numbering Guidelines

The following guidelines apply to FICON port numbers:
•
•
•
•

FCIP and PortChannel Port Numbers

FCIP and PortChannels cannot be used in a FICON-enabled VSAN unless they are explicitly bound to
a port number.
See the
to FCIP Interfaces" section on page
To find the first available port number to bind a FCIP or PortChannel interface use the show ficon
first-available port-number command (see
The show ficon vsan portaddress brief command displays the port number to interface mapping. You
Tip
can assign port numbers in the PortChannel/FCIP range which are not already assigned to a PortChannel
or FCIP interface (see
OL-6973-03, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.x
The module is not present—for example, if module 1 is not physically present in slot 1 in a Cisco
MDS 9509 Director, ports 0 to 31 are considered uninstalled.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) port is not present—for example, if a 16-port module is
inserted in slot 2 in a Cisco MDS 9509 Director, ports 48 to 63 are considered uninstalled.
The port is not in a FICON-enabled VSAN—for example, if port 4 (of a 16-port module in slot 1)
is configured in FICON-enabled VSAN 2, then only port 4 is installed and ports 0 to 3 and 5 to 15
are uninstalled—even if they are implemented in VSAN 2.
Another scenario is if VSANs 1 through 5 are FICON-enabled, and trunking-enabled interface fc1/1
has VSANs 3 through 10, then port address 0 is uninstalled in VSAN 1 and 2.
The port is part of a PortChannel—for example, if interface fc 1/1 is part of PortChanne1 5, port
address 0 is uninstalled in all FICON VSANs. See
Supervisor modules do not have port number assignments.
Port numbers are VSAN independent and do not change based on VSANs or TE ports.
Each PortChannel must be explicitly associated with a FICON port number.
When the port number for a physical PortChannel becomes uninstalled, the relevant PortChannel
configuration is applied to the physical port.
Each FCIP tunnel must be explicitly associated with a FICON port number. If the port numbers are
not assigned for PortChannels or for FCIP tunnels, the associated ports will not come up.
