portCfgFillword portCfgFillword Configures the fill word for a single 8G FC port. Synopsis portcfgfillword [slot/]port, mode [passive] portcfgfillword --help Description Use this command to configure the fill word of an 8G FC port. By default, this command disables and re-enables the port and the port comes online with the new fill word setting. When passive option 1 is used after the mode, the new settings are not applied until the next time the port goes offline and comes back online. When passive option 0 is used after the mode, the new settings are applied immediately. The configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is persistent across switch reboots or power cycles. Notes This command is applicable only to 8G FC ports on 16 Gbps-capable platforms. This configuration cannot be set on VE_Ports or VEX_Ports. Use the portCfgShow command to display user-configured fill word settings. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details. Operands 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 Specifies the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports. mode Specifies the fill word for the port number. This operand is required. Valid values are one of the following: 0 | -idle-idle Sets IDLE mode in the Link Init and IDLE as the fill word (default). 1 | -arbff-arbff Sets ARB(ff) in the Link Init and ARB(ff) as the fill word. 2 | -idlef-arbff Sets IDLE mode in the Link Init and ARB(ff) as the fill word. 3 | -aa-then-ia Attempts hardware arbff-arbff (mode 1) first. If the attempt fails to go into active state, this command executes software idle-arb (mode 2). Mode 3 is the preferable to modes 1 and 2 as it captures more cases. 682 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1004112-02
