Specifies the range of port numbers to assign. The range can be 0 through 153, or 0x0 through 0x99. For 9513, the port numbers can be between 0 through 249, or 0x0 through 0xf9. Defaults None. Command Modes Configuration mode. Command History Release 3.0(1) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines A range of 255 port numbers are available for you to assign to all the ports on a switch. You can have more than 255 physical ports on a switch and the excess ports do not have ports numbers in the default numbering scheme. When you have more than 255 physical ports on your switch, you can assign unimplemented port numbers to the ports, or assign duplicate port numbers if they are not used in the same FICON VSAN. For example, you can configure port number 1 on interface fc1/1 in FICON VSAN 10 and fc10/1 in FICON VSAN 20. FICON port numbers are not changed for ports that are active. You must first disable the interfaces using the shutdown command. You can configure port numbers even when no module is installed in the slot, and before FICON is enabled on any VSAN. For more information on assigning port numbers, refer to "FICON Port Numbering" in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide. Note This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter. Examples The following example reserves FICON port numbers 0 through 15 and 48 through 63 for up to 32 interfaces in slot 3. 8-66 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference OL-16217-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
