portCfgSpeed

Configures the speed for a port or a range of ports.

Synopsis

portcfgspeed [slot/]port speed

portcfgspeed -i [index1[-index2] [-f] speed]

portcfgspeed -slot [slot1[-slot2] [...] speed

portcfgspeed -h

Description

Use this command to set the speed on a specified port or port range. This command disables and
then re-enables the ports, and the ports come online with the new speed setting. The configuration
is saved in nonvolatile memory and is persistent across switch reboots or power cycles. Use the
portShow command to display supported port speed levels. Use the portCfgShow command to
display configured speed settings.

You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number. Port
ranges are supported with index numbers or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for
a listing of valid ports, slots, and port index numbers.

Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is
disabled. They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option
without a port index argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow.

Notes

This configuration cannot be set on VE/VEX_Ports. For a virtual FC port, the speed is always 10 GbE
and port speed autonegotiation is not possible.

Speed configuration is not applicable to FCoE ports.

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.

Operands

slot

For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be
configured, followed by a slash (/).

port

Configures a single port identified by the port number relative its the slot on
bladed systems.

-i index1[-index2]

Configures a port or a range of ports identified by port index numbers.
Multiple port ranges are not supported with this command.

-f

Ignores nonexisting ports. This operand is valid only with the -i option.

-slot [slot1[-slot2]

Configures all ports on a slot or on a range of slots, for example, -s 3-5. You
may specify multiple slot ranges separated by a space, for example, -s 3-5
8-10.

speed

Sets speed for the specified ports. This operand is required. Valid values are
one of the following.

0

Autosensing mode (hardware). The port automatically configures for
maximum speed.
