Enabling 10 Gbps operation on an FC port
To enable 10 Gbps operation on an FC port on a Brocade 6510 switch or an FC16-32 or FC16-48
blade, follow these steps:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions, or an account with
OM permissions for the license and switchportconfiguration classes of RBAC commands.
2. Use the licenseAdd command to add the 10G license.
3. Bladed platforms only: Use the licenseShow command to check the results of automatic
license assignment. If the results are not what you intended, use the licenseSlotCfg command
to reassign the license to the desired blades.
4. Use the licenseShow command to verify the license.
5. Use the portCfgOctetSpeedCombo command to set the combination speed for the first port
octet to a setting that supports 10 Gbps operations. Valid settings for 10 Gbps operations
include:
• 2—autonegotiated or fixed port speeds of 10 Gbps, 8 Gbps,4 Gbps, and 2 Gbps
• 3—autonegotiated or fixed port speeds of 16 Gbps and 10 Gbps
6. Use the portCfgSpeed command to set the port speed on each port you want to operate at 10
Gbps.
Example of assigning a 10G license on an FC port blade and enabling 10 Gbps operation on a port
This example assigns a license to slot 4 on a DCX 8510-8 Backbone and enables 10 Gbps
operation on port 2 of the port blade in that slot. In this example, the 10G license was first
automatically assigned to slot 1.
