portCfgGeMediaType

portCfgGeMediaType
Sets the selected mode for the ge0 and ge1 ports on the Brocade 7800.
SYNOPSIS
portcfggemediatype ge_port [optical | copper]
portcfggemediatype --help
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to set the mode for ge0 and ge1 ports on the Brocade 7800.
Each of the ge0 and ge1 ports on the Brocade 7800 can be configured as a copper port (RJ45) or an
optical port (SFP). The copper ports (RJ45) can only accept copper connections. The optical ports can
accept any Brocade-branded SFP, optical or copper. Each of the ge0 and ge1 ports can be configured
either as a copper port or an optical port, but not both.
The following configurations are possible:
Default
•
•
One copper and one optical port active
•
•
Or:
•
•
Both copper ports inactive. Both optical SPP ports active
•
•
The copper-only GbE ports are selected by default. To select ge0 or ge1 as optical mode specify the
operand as optical. Specify copper to re-select the default copper port.
When used with the ge_port operand only, this command displays the currently selected GbE port and
media type.
