Port Link-Type Xrn-Fabric - 3Com 5500-EI PWR Reference Manual

Description
Use the xrn-fabric authentication-mode command to configure the authentication mode and
password for an XRN fabric.
Use the undo xrn-fabric authentication-mode command to remove the XRN fabric authentication
configuration.
By default, no authentication mode is configured on a switch.
XRN fabric authentication is used to ensure the security of the devices accessing it. Only the device
configured with the same authentication mode and password with that of the fabric can access the
current XRN fabric.
Examples
# Set the authentication mode of the XRN fabric to simple, with the password being hello.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] xrn-fabric authentication-mode simple hello

port link-type xrn-fabric

Syntax
port link-type xrn-fabric
View
Ethernet port view
Parameters
None
Description
Use the port link-type command to configure an Ethernet port as the fabric port. This command has
the same function with the fabric-port enable command, and is available only in gigabit port view.
By default, no port is configured as the fabric port.
Note that:
After you use the port link-type xrn-fabric command to specify a port as the fabric port, you cannot
use the port link-type command to change the port to a port of other types. You need to use the undo
fabric-port command first to disable the fabric port function of the port to change the port type.
Examples
# Set GigabitEthernet 1/0/25 port as a fabric port.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/25
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/25] port link-type xrn-fabric
