Usage Guidelines

Platform Availability:

Cisco SFS 3001, Cisco SFS 7000, Cisco SFS 7008, Cisco SFS 3012, Cisco 4x InfiniBand Switch Module

for IBM BladeCenter

Privilege Level:

Unrestricted read-write user, Fibre Channel read-write user, Ethernet read-write user, InfiniBand

read-write user.

Fibre Channel:

The speed of a connection does not necessarily match the speed that you configure. If your connection

cannot physically connect at the speed that you specify, the connection runs at a slower speed that your

Server Switch automatically detects. As soon as a physical change makes your speed setting possible,

the connection will run at the speed that you specified.

Note

You cannot manually configure connection speed you enable auto-negotiation. Enter the

no auto-negotiate

command before you manually configure connection speed.

Ethernet:

The

speed

command sets the administrative speed (the speed that you want) only. Self-detection

determines the actual speed, which depends on the capabilities of the connection. You must disable the

auto-negotiation feature to manually configure speed.

speed

Integer value that configures the speed (in Mbps) of the connection between

your Server Switch and a Fibre Channel device or Ethernet device. For Fibre

Channel, enter

1000

for 1 Gbps or

2000

for 2 Gbps.
