Configuring the Interface Description

Interface descriptions should help you identify the traffic or use for that interface. The interface
description can be any alphanumeric string.
To configure a description for an interface, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface {fc
slot/port}|{vfc vfc-id}
Step 3
switch(config-if)# switchport
description cisco-HBA2
switch(config-if)# no switchport

Configuring Port Speeds

Port speed can be configured on a physical Fibre Channel interface (but not on a virtual Fibre Channel
interface). By default, the port speed for an interface is automatically calculated by the switch.
Caution Changing the interface speed is a disruptive operation.
To configure the port speed of the interface, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc
slot/port

Purpose
For a virtual Fibre Channel, only the F port mode is
supported.
For a Fibre Channel interface, you can set the mode to E,
F, or SD port mode. Set the mode to auto to
auto-negotiate an E, F, TE port mode (not SD port mode)
of operation.
SD ports cannot be configured automatically.
Note
They must be administratively configured.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
Configures the description of the interface. The string can
be up to 80 characters long.
Clears the description of the interface.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects the specified interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
