To configure a range of interfaces, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc
slot/port - port [ , fc slot/port -
port ]
or
switch(config)# interface vfc vfc-id
- vfc-id [, vfc vfc-id - vfc-id ]
Setting the Interface Administrative State
To gracefully shut down an interface, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface {fc
slot/port}|{vfc vfc-id}
Step 3
switch(config-if)# shutdown
To enable traffic flow, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface {fc
slot/port}|{vfc vfc-id}
Step 3
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Configuring Interface Modes
To configure the interface mode, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configuration terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface {fc
slot/port}|{vfc vfc-id}

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects the range of Fibre Channel interfaces and enters
interface configuration mode.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
Gracefully shuts down the interface and administratively
disables traffic flow (default).
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
Enables traffic flow to administratively allow traffic
when the no prefix is used (provided the operational state
is up).
A virtual Fibre Channel interface becomes operational if
the bound Ethernet interface is operational and its STP
port state is active.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects a Fibre Channel interface and enters interface
configuration mode.
