portCfg 2 DESCRIPTION OPERANDS EXAMPLES Use this command to configure the following parameters on a local FC port. • portcfg mirrorport - Configure a mirror port on the local port. • portcfg rscnsupr - Manage registered state change notification (RSCN) suppression on the local port. This command has the following operands: slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured, followed by a slash (/). port[-port] Specifies a single port or a range of ports, for example, 3-22 or 1/3-8. port ranges are supported only with the rscnsupr option. rscnsupr Manages Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) suppression on the local port. RSCN suppression is configurable only on FC ports. The syntax for portCfg rscnsupr is as follows: portcfg rscnsupr [slot/]port[-port] mode The following modes are supported with the rscnsupr option: --disable Disables the configuration. When disabled, device changes on the port generate an RSCN to all other end devices that are zoned with this one. By default, RSCN suppression is disabled on all ports. --enable Enables the configuration. When enabled, any device changes on the port will not generate an RSCN to any other end device. mirrorport Configures a mirror port on the local port. The port mirroring feature reroutes data frames between two devices to the mirror port. Port mirroring can aid in troubleshooting common FC end-to-end communication problems. The command prompts for confirmation that the specified port be enabled as a mirror port. Once a port is configured as a mirror port, the port can only be used as part of a mirror connection. Port Mirroring is not supported over FCIP links (VE tunnels). The syntax for portCfg mirrorport is as follows: portcfg mirrorport [slot/]port mode Valid modes for mirrorport include the following: --disable Disables the configuration. When disabled, a port cannot be a mirror port. --enable Enables the configuration. When the mirror port feature is enabled to a port, a mirror connection can use this port to mirror traffic. To enable a mirror port configuration: switch:admin> portcfg mirrorport 2/4 --enable Please confirm enable of Mirror Port (Y,y,N,n):[n] y To configure a range of ports as RSCN-suppressed: switch:admin> portcfg rscnsupr 2/4-7 --enable Fabric OS Command Reference 631 53-1002746-01
