3. Take the appropriate action based on the Persistent Disable setting: • If it is set to OFF, proceed to step 4. • If it is set to ON, issue the portCfgPersistentEnable command with the slot number and GbE port number: switch:admin> portcfgpersistentenable 10/ge0 4. Issue the portCfgShow command with the slot number and GbE port number to verify that the port is persistently enabled. In the following sample output, the Persistent Disable setting is set to OFF. switch:admin> portcfgshow 10/ge0 Mode: ISCSI Persistent Disable: OFF Ipif configuration: Interface IP Address NetMask MTU 0 30.0.130.100 255.255.0.0 1500 Arp configuration: IP Address Mac Address Iproute Configuration: IP Address Mask Gateway Metric switch:admin> Configuring the GbE interface NOTE: You can set the TCP/IP parameters of a GbE port even when iSCSI gateway service is disabled. Address resolution protocol (ARP) entries for the IP interfaces are created automatically when you verify the network connectivity using the ping command. You can add additional ARP entries if you wish. As an option, you can define static routes to reach the destination IP through a preferred gateway. The gateway must be on the same subnet as the GbE port. You can specify a maximum of 32 routes per GbE port. 1. Connect and log in to the switch. 2. Issue the portCfg command as follows to assign an IP address, subnet mask, and maximum packet size of the interface: switch:admin> portcfg ipif 3/ge0 create 30.0.127.30 255.255.0.0 8256 NOTE: 1500 bytes is the standard maximum packet size in an IP network. If your network supports jumbo packets, a value of 8256 can improve performance. The range allowed is 1500 to 8256 KB. 3. Issue the portShow command to verify the settings: switch:admin> portshow ipif 3/ge0 Slot: 3 Port: ge0 InterfaceIP AddressNetMaskMTU 0 30.0.127.30 255.255.0.0 8256 Fabric OS 6.1.x administrator guide 263
