portCfgEXPort portCfgEXPort Sets a port to be an EX_Port, and sets and displays EX_Port configuration parameters. Synopsis portcfgexport [slot/]port [-port] portcfgexport [-a admin] portcfgexport [-f fabricid] portcfgexport [-r ratov] portcfgexport [-e edtov] portcfgexport [-d domainid] portcfgexport [-p pidformat] portcfgexport [-t fabric_parameter] portcfgexport [-m port mode] portcfgexport [-i mode] portcfgexport --help Description Use this command to allow a port to be configured as an EX_Port, to display the port's EX_Port configuration, or to change the configuration. If no optional parameter is specified, the command displays the currently configured values; otherwise, it sets the specified attribute to its new value. The port must be disabled prior to setting EX_Port attributes. The port must be enabled before the port can become active following EX_Port parameter changes. Use portDisable and portEnable to disable or enable the port. IPFC over FCR allows the routing of IPFC traffic between different EX_Ports where EX_Ports are connected to an edge fabric that has IPFC-capable devices. IPFC traffic is routed between EX and VEX Ports. IPFC traffic can be related to the same edge fabric or to different edge fabrics. When the port is not active, the preferred domain ID is configurable. The preferred domain ID is used by the EX_Port's front phantom domain to request a domain ID from the principal switch. The domain ID received becomes the subsequent preferred domain ID, which is persistent and is displayed. FCR supports Network OS edge (NOS) fabric connectivity when the EX_Port is set to Brocade Network OS fabric mode. No Integrated Routing License is required to support Network OS fabric connectivity, and selective device sharing will be allowed even when a license is not present. This command is also used to configure the Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) ports to be EX_Ports. The ICL EX_Port is supported only on the VF-enabled 16 Gbps-capable chassis. Setting ICL EX_Port configuration in a non-VF switch or non-base switch will display an error. All EX_Ports within a quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) must be present in the base switch and in disabled state for configuring ICL EX_Ports. If an EX_Port within the same QSFP is moved from the base switch to a logical switch, EX_Port configuration cannot be applied to any of the ports in the QSFP. When specifying an ICL port, all four E_Ports of the QSFP will be configured with the same EX_Port parameters. Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 669 53-1004112-02
