Configuring FC ports

The Controllable attribute is Yes, if your role gives you Modify permission for ports. If a port is
controllable, all configuration functionality is enabled.

Configuring FC ports

With the FC Port Configuration wizard, you can configure allowed port types, port speed, and long
distance mode for physical ports.
You must use Web Tools with the EGM license enabled on the switch to configure long distance;
otherwise, access to this feature is denied and an error message displays.
The EGM license is required only for 8 Gbps platforms, such as the following:
•
•
•
•
•
For non-8 Gbps platforms, all functionality is available without EGM license.
The following procedure describes how to open the FC Port Configuration wizard. The wizard is
self-explanatory, so the explicit steps are not documented here.
NOTE
With Fabric OS v7.0.1 and later, Web Tools supports interoperability between a Fabric OS fabric and
a Brocade Network OS fabric through an FC router. You can select this interoperability mode in the
FC Port Configuration Wizard.
1. Click a port in the Switch View to open the Port Admin tab.
2. Select the port you want to configure from the tree on the left.
3. Click the General subtab.
4. Click Edit Configuration.
5. Follow the steps in the wizard.
