4. Enter the following command to display all drivers and controllers that support the driver

configuration protocol.

drvcfg -c

Once the driver initializes, look for entries for the Brocade adapter driver handle that you found
in the previous step. In the following example, two controller handles (27 and 28) display for
driver handle 25. Each controller represents a port on the adapter.

5. Configure an adapter port using the drvcfg -s command in the following format.

drvcfg -s [driver handle] [controller handle]

Following is an example of how to use this command with the driver and controller handles
from the previous steps.

a. To configure one of the adapter ports, enter the following:

drvcfg -s 25 27

NOTE

The -s option for drvcfg provides prompts for setting adapter options. You can use the -v
option (drvcfg -v 25 27) to check that options currently set on the adapter are valid.

b. When you are prompted to enable the adapter port, press the Y or N key to enable or

disable the port.

c. When prompted, enter a port speed (HBAs and Fabric Adapter ports configured in HBA

mode only).

d. To terminate and not save values that you have selected, press Esc, and go to the next

step.

Following is example output from the drvcfg command using driver handle 25 and controller
handle 27. Note that for a CNA and Fabric Adapter ports configured in CNA mode, an option to
set the port speed will not display as it does for an HBA or Fabric Adapter port configured in
HBA mode.

checks whether options configured for the adapter are valid. For example, enter drvcfg -v 29
