Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1001764-01
Enables or disables the specified port as a VEX_Port. Valid values are 1
(enable as VEX_Port), 2 (disable as VEX_Port and enable as non-VEX_Port).
portCfgDefault may also be used to disable VEX_Ports.
Specifies the fabric ID. Valid values are 1-128.
Specifies the R_A_TOV used for port negotiation. Valid values are 2000 -
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 -
60000. This operand is only applicable if the "Fabric Parameter" attribute
value is not "Auto Negotiate".
Specify the preferred domain ID. For Brocade native mode (-m 0) or McDATA
Open Fabric mode (-m 1), valid values are 1-239. For McDATA Fabric mode
(-m 2), valid values are 1-31.
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".
1-enable, 2-disable.
Specifies the Port mode. The -m option enforces the same port mode for all
the ports connected to the same edge fabric. If the -m option is selected, the
port mode is compared to the online ports. If the modes are different, an
error message is displayed, and the command fails. Valid values are as
follows:
0 Brocade Native mode.
1 McDATA Open Fabric mode.
2 McDATA Fabric mode.
3 MCDATA fabric legacy mode.
Note that this mapping between mode values and modes is NOT the same as
the mapping used when setting interoperability modes with the interopMode
command.
