portCfgGeMediaType 2 portCfgGeMediaType Synopsis Sets the active ge0 and ge1 ports on the Brocade 7800. portcfggemediatype ge_port [optical | copper] portcfggemediatype --help Description Use this command to set the active ge0 and ge1 ports on the Brocade 7800. Each of the ge0 and ge1 ports on the Brocade 7800 can be configured as a copper port (RJ45) or an optical port (SFP). The copper ports (RJ45) can only accept copper connections. The optical ports can accept any Brocade-branded SFP, optical or copper. The copper (RJ45) ports and the optical (SFP) ports operate independently. Each of the ge0 and ge1 ports can be configured either as a copper port or an optical port, but not both. The following configurations are possible: Default ge0 (RJ45) - active and ge0 (SFP) - inactive ge1 (RJ45) - active and ge1 (SFP) - inactive One copper and one optical port active ge0 (RJ45) - active and ge0 (SFP) - inactive ge1 (RJ45) - inactive and ge1 (SFP) - active Or: ge1 (RJ45) - active and ge1 (SFP) - inactive ge0 (RJ45) - inactive and ge0 (SFP) - active Both copper ports inactive. Both optical SPP ports active Ge0 (RJ45) - inactive and Ge0 (SFP) - active Ge1 (RJ45) - inactive and Ge1 (SFP) - active The copper-only GbE ports are active by default. To activate the port that can accept both copper and optical connections, specify the optical operand. Specify copper to reactivate the default copper port. When used with the ge_port operand only, this command displays the currently active GbE port and connection type. Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. This command is supported only on the Brocade 7800 and only on ge1 and ge0 ports. On all other platforms or ports, this command returns a "not supported message." Operands This command has the following operands: ge_Port Specifies the GbE port to be activated. Valid ports are ge0 and ge1. This operand is required. optical | copper Specifies which port to activate. Specifying optical activates the GbE port that can accept both optical and copper connections. Specifying copper activates the copper-only GbE port. The copper-only GbE ports are active by default. These operands are exclusive and optional; if omitted, the current port configuration is displayed for the specified GbE port. --help Displays the command usage.
