Interfaces are automatically assigned VSAN 1 by default. See

Each interface has an associated administrative configuration and an operational status:

The following sections provide a brief description of each interface mode:

In expansion port (E port) mode, an interface functions as a fabric expansion port. This port may be

connected to another E port to create an Inter-Switch Link (ISL) between two switches. E ports carry

frames between switches for configuration and fabric management. They serve as a conduit between

switches for frames destined to remote N ports. E ports support class 3 and class F service.

An E port connected to another switch may also be configured to form a SAN port channel (see

Chapter 36, "Configuring SAN Port

Switch Port Modes

The administrative configuration does not change unless you modify it. This configuration has

various attributes that you can configure in administrative mode.

The operational status represents the current status of a specified attribute such as the interface

speed. This status cannot be changed and is read-only. Some values may not be valid when the

interface is down (for example, the operational speed).
