portCfgEXPort 2 Operands If the Fabric Parameter value is "Auto Negotiate", the port ID format, R_A_TOV, and E_D_TOV values display the negotiated values indicated by "(N)" next to them. The negotiated values are what the edge switch specifies in the ELP request. If the state is "Not OK", the R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV display "Not Applicable". By default, all EX_Ports are auto-ELP enabled. If the Fabric Parameter attribute value is "User configured", the port ID format R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV values display the configured values. 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 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. 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. Use 239 for connectivity with the Mi10k director. 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 this option is selected, the port mode is compared against the online ports. If the modes are different, Fabric OS Command Reference 605 53-1001337-01
