Description

types are "Auto", "Preferred", "Custom" and "Disabled".

If a SAN Fabric is assigned to the connection, the supported port speed types

are "1", "2", "4", "8", "Preferred", "Custom" and "Disabled".

For all port speed types, if configured, the maximum allocated port speed is
determined by the maximum connection speed for that SAN Fabric or FCoE

network.

Auto—VCM determines the appropriate port speed based on the available
bandwidth for the port.

Preferred—Use the preferred speed of the SAN Fabric or FCoE network

selected for this connection. If no preferred speed is configured, VCM
determines the speed.

Custom—Allows you to select a custom port speed setting between 100Mb

and the configured maximum connection speed in 100Mb increments
Disabled—The FCoE connection is disabled and no bandwidth is allocated.

1,2,4, and 8Gb—Predefined custom port speed selection that can be used for

the FCoE connection assigned to a SAN Fabric
