portCfgVEXPort portCfgVEXPort Configures a port as a VEX_Port connected to an FC-IP and sets and displays VEX_Port configuration parameters. Synopsis portcfgvexport [slot/]port [-port] portcfgvexport [-a admin] portcfgvexport [-f fabricid] portcfgvexport [-r ratov] portcfgvexport [-e edtov] portcfgvexport [-d domainid] portcfgvexport [-p pidformat] portcfgvexport [-t fabric_parameter] portcfgvexport [-m portmode] Description Use this command to configure a port as a VEX_Port, to display the port's VEX_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 VEX_Port attributes. The port must be enabled before the port can become active following VEX_Port parameter changes. Use portDisable and portEnable to disable or enable the port. When the port is not active, the preferred domain ID is configurable. The preferred domain ID is used by the VEX_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. Notes In FOS v7.1.0 and later, both Open(IM1) and McDATA(IM2 and IM3) interop modes are not supported. The fabric ID must be the same for every router port connected to the same edge fabric, and different for every edge fabric. If two ports are connected to the same fabric but have been assigned different fabric IDs, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID oversubscription. If two fabrics have been assigned the same fabric ID, one of them will be disabled due to a fabric ID conflict. The front domain WWN field displays the WWN of the front domain. If the port is enabled and the state is "OK", the edge fabric principal switch domain ID and WWN also are displayed. If the Fabric Parameter value is "Auto Negotiate", the port ID format, R_A_TOV, and E_D_TOV values display the negotiated values indicated by "(N)" next to them. The negotiated values are what the edge switch specifies in the ELP request. If the state is "Not OK", R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV display "Not Applicable". By default, all VEX_Ports are auto-ELP enabled. If the Fabric Parameter attribute value is "User configured", port ID format, R_A_TOV, and E_D_TOV display the configured values. Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 745 53-1004112-02
