portCfgEXPort
2
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 Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability"
for details.
Operands When invoked without operands, this command displays the usage. The following operands are
supported:
slotnumber Specifies the slotnumber on enterprise-class platforms, followed by a slash
(/).
portnumber Specifies the portnumber. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports. When
executed with [slotnumber]portnumber only, the command displays the
current port configuration.
-a admin 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.
-f fabricid Specifies the fabric ID. Valid values are 1-128.
-r ratov 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".
-e edtov 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".
-d domainid Specifies 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.
-p pidformat 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".
-t fabric_parameter Enables or disables negotiation of the fabric parameters. Valid values are 1
for enable and 2 for disable.
-m port mode Specifies the Port mode. The -m option enforces the same port mode for all
the ports connected to the same edge fabric. If -m 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.
1 McDATA Open Fabric mode.
2 McDATA Fabric 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.
