Setting port speed for a port octet

You can use the portCfgOctetSpeedCombo command to configure the speed for a port octet.
Be aware that in a Virtual Fabrics environment, this command applies chassis-wide and not just to
the logical switch.
Use the following procedure to set the port speed for a port octet:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the portCfgOctetSpeedCombo command.
