Portcfgencrypt - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 8/12c Command Reference Manual

portCfgEncrypt

Configures a port for encryption.
SYNOPSIS
portcfgencrypt --enable [slot]/port
portcfgencrypt --disable [slot]/port
portcfgencrypt --help
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to configure a port for encryption. This command enables or disables the encryption
configuration on the specified port and saves the configuration persistently.
Before you can configure a port for encryption, you must configure the port for authentication. When
disabling encryption, you must disable the encryption configuration before you can disable
authentication. Refer to the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide for more information.
Configuring a port for encryption is disruptive. You must disable the port before you can enable
encryption on the port. This command fails on an enabled port.
The number of configurable ports is limited per ASIC. Use the portEncCompShow for a listing of
configurable ports per ASIC.
NOTES
This command is supported only on E_Ports. An E_Port can be enabled for compression and for
encryption at the same time.
When you move a configured port to another logical switch, you are informed that the operation requires
that the port configuration be disabled. You are given the choice to cancel the move or to continue. If you
want to go ahead with the move and the port is configured for encryption or compression, you must
disable the configuration prior to moving the port. You must reconfigure the port on the target switch if
you want to use compression or encryption on that port.
This command is supported only on Condor 3-based platforms running Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
