Enabling GbE ports
By default, GbE ports are enabled on an FC4-16IP blade installed in the Brocade 48000. However,
if you insert the FC4-16IP blade into a slot that was previously occupied by an FR-18i blade, GbE
ports are disabled.
Before enabling the physical iSCSI interface, enable the iSCSI gateway service as described in
“Enabling the iSCSI gateway service” on page 267.
NOTE
The GbE port number port_number below is entered geX; where X is from 0 through 7.
For example ge1 (see Figure 36 on page 267).
1. Connect and log in to the switch.
2. Enter the portCfgShow command with the blade slot number and GbE port number parameters
to display the Persistent Disable setting of the port.
switch:admin> portcfgshow 10/ge0
Mode: ISCSI
Persistent Disable: ON
Ipif configuration:

3. Take the appropriate action based on the Persistent Disable setting:
- If it is set to OFF, proceed to step 4.
- If it is set to ON, enter the portCfgPersistentEnable command with the slot number and
GbE port number.
switch:admin> portcfgpersistentenable 10/ge0
4. Enter the portCfgShow command with the slot number and GbE port number to verify that the
port is persistently enabled.
In the following sample output, the Persistent Disable setting is set to OFF.
