Fabric OS Command Reference 563

53-1001186-01

portCfgGport

Designates a port as a G_Port; removes G_Port designation.

Synopsis portcfggport [slot/]port,mode

Description Use this command to designate a port as a G_Port. After successful execution of this command,

the switch attempts to initialize the specified port as an F_Port only, and does not attempt loop

initialization (FL_Port) on the port. A port designated as a G_Port can become an E_Port. This

configuration can be cleared but not set on VE/VEX_Ports. Changes made by this command are

persistent across switch reboots or power cycles.

Note 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 This command has the following operands:

slot For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to be configured,

followed by a slash (/).

port Specify the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use

switchShow to display a list of valid ports.

mode Specify a value of 1 to designate the port as a G_Port or specify a value of 0

to remove the G_Port designation from the port. A value of 0 is the default

port state. Mode must be preceded by a comma. This operand is required.

Examples To configure port as a locked G_Port:

switch:admin> portcfggport 1/3, 1
