Configuring a 24-Port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module Example
These steps describe how to configure the 24-port 8-Gbps module interfaces:
Step 1
Select interfaces fc 3/1.
switch# config t
switch(config)# interface fc 3/1
Configure the port speed, rate mode, and port mode on the interfaces.
Step 2
switch(config-if)# switchport speed 8000
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode dedicated
switch(config-if)# switchport mode f
Enable the interfaces and return to configuration mode.
Step 3
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
switch(config-if)# exit
switch#
Select the interfaces fc 3/2 through fc 3/3.
Step 4
switch# config t
switch(config)# interface fc 3/2 - 3
Configure the port speed, rate mode, and port mode on the interfaces.
Step 5
switch(config-if)# switchport speed 8000
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode shared
switch(config-if)# switchport mode f
Enable the interfaces and return to configuration mode.
Step 6
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
switch(config-if)# exit
