Configuring The Gbe Ports - HP AA979A - StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8V Administrator's Manual

The following example shows IP interfaces defined for slot 8 on GbE port ge0:
switch:admin06> portshow ipif 8/ge0
Port: 8/ge0
Interface
----------------------------------------------------------

1
switch:admin06> portcfg ipif 8/ge0 create 192.168.100.40 255.255.255.0 1500
switch:admin06> portcfg ipif 8/ge0 create 192.168.100.41 255.255.255.0 1500
Then verify the newly-created IP interface using the portShow command:
switch:admin06> portshow ipif 8/ge0
Port: 8/ge0

Configuring the GbE ports

Each GbE port has eight virtual channels. In order to enable FCIP on these ports you must configure them
as either a VE_Port or a VEX_Port, depending on whether you want to the fabrics connected using FCIP to
merge. Two fabrics connected with VE_Ports will merge into a single fabric. Two fabrics connected with a
VEX_Port / VE_Port will not merge. The destination IFL port type for a VEX_Port should always be a
VE_Port. By default the virtual ports will automatically become VE_Ports.
Use portCfgVexport to specify a port as a VEX_Port is as follows:
portcfgvexport [slotnumber/]portnumber [-a admin][-f fabricid][-d
domainid]
[-p pidformat][-t fabric_parameter]
where:
-a admin
-f fabricid
-d domainid
-p pidformat
-t fabric_parameter Specify 1 to enable or 2 to disable negotiate fabric parameters.
For example, to configure a port as a VEX_Port for slot number 8 in port number 18, enable the admin,
with fabric ID 2 and preferred domain ID 220:
switch:admin06> portcfgvexport 8/18 -a 1 -f 2 -d 220
Adding IP routes on a GbE port
After defining the IP interface of the remote switch, you can define destination routes on an interface. You
can specify a maximum of 32 routes per GbE port.
The syntax to create IP routes is:
portcfg iproute [slot/][ge]port args create ipaddr netmask gateway_router

Specify 1 to enable or 2 to disable the admin.
Specify 1 to 128 for the fabric ID.
Specify 1 to 239 for the preferred domain ID.
Specify 1 for core, 2 for extended edge, and 3 for native port ID format.
