If the Fabric Parameter attribute value is "User configured", the port ID format R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV
values display the configured values.
A configuration change that would result in an invalid domain ID for McDATA Open Fabric mode or
McDATA Fabric mode causes the preferred domain ID to be set to the minimum valid McDATA mode
domain ID of 1. The exception to this is if the configuration change includes setting the preferred domain
ID, in which case the configuration change does not take place and a corresponding error message is
displayed.
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.
OPERANDS
When invoked without operands, this command displays the usage. The following operands are
supported:
slot
port
-a admin
-f fabricid
-r ratov
-e edtov
-d domainid
-p pidformat
-t fabric_parameter
-m port mode
646
On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number followed by a slash (/).
Specifies the port number. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports. When
executed with [slot/]port only, the command displays the current port
configuration.
Enables or disables the specified port as an EX_Port. Valid values are 1 (enable
as EX_Port), 2 (disable as EX_Port and enable as non-EX_Port). portCfgDefault
may also be used to disable EX_Ports.
Specifies the fabric ID. Valid values are 1 to 128.
Specifies the R_A_TOV used for port negotiation. Valid values are 2000 to
120000. This operand is only applicable if the "Fabric Parameter" attribute value is
not "Auto Negotiate".
Specifies the E_D_TOV used for port negotiation. Valid values are 1000 to 60000.
This operand is only applicable if the "Fabric Parameter" attribute value is not
"Auto Negotiate".
Specifies the preferred domain ID. For Brocade native mode (-m 0) or McDATA
Open Fabric mode (-m 1), valid values are 1 to 239. Use 239 for connectivity with
the Mi10k director. For McDATA Fabric mode (-m 2), valid values are 1 to 31.
Specifies the Port ID format. Valid values are 0-native, 1-core, 2-extended edge.
This operand is applicable only when port mode is set to 0 (native mode). If port
mode is not "Brocade Native", the Port ID format displays as "Not applicable".
Enables or disables negotiation of the fabric parameters. Valid values are 1 for
enable and 2 for disable.
Specifies the port mode. The -m option enforces the same port mode for all the
ports connected to the same edge fabric. If this option is selected, the port mode
is compared against the online ports. If the modes are different, an error message
is posted, and the command fails. Valid values are as follows:
0
Brocade Native mode.
