Configuring Port Octet Speed Combination

The ports on these hardware models are segregated into 8 port octets. The Port Octet Speed

Combination is applied to the eight ports to which the selected port belongs. Based on this Port

Octet Speed combination, the speed options will be available in the Edit Configuration Dialog.

You can change the octet combination for the octet associated with first eight ports of a blade or

switch. The first eight ports are based on the slot port number (or user port number in case of the

Brocade 6510). The octet speed must be set consistently across all members of the port octet.

NOTE

Changing from one combination to another is disruptive operation. It may cause connected ports to

become No_Sync. The 10 GE license is required in order to set a port to speed 10G.

To configure the Port Octet Speed Combination, perform the following steps.

1. Select Port Admin > Advanced mode.

2. Select the FC Ports tab.

3. In the FC Ports Explorer, select a port to configure.
