On page 430 change the note in the middle of the page to the following:

The CEE ports on the Brocade 8000 and the FC10-6 port blade do not support trunking.

Under the heading “Setting port speeds” on page 435, change the last sentence of the first

paragraph to the following:

On the Brocade 200E, 300, 4100, 4900, 5100, 5300, 8000, and 48000 platforms, for

long-distance ports, you should specify the port speed instead of setting it to autonegotiate.

In the procedure after Table 97 on page 436, change the description of speedlevel in step 2 to the

following:

At the top of page 437, change the description of speedlevel to the following:

In the second paragraph on page 439, change the second sentence to the following:

This feature supports the Brocade 300, 4100, 4900, 5000, 5100, 5300, 48000 and the DCX

enterprise-class platforms running Fabric OS v6.1.0 or higher, and the Brocade 8000 switch

running Fabric OS v6.1.2_cee.

speedlevel Specifies the speed of the link:

0—Autonegotiating mode. The port automatically configures for the highest speed.

1—one Gbps mode. Fixes the port at a speed of 1 Gbps. Changing the speed to one Gbps

causes the port to be excluded from the trunk group.

2—two Gbps mode. Fixes the port at a speed of 2 Gbps.

4—four Gbps mode. Fixes the port at a speed of 4 Gbps. (Brocade 200E, 4012, 4016, 4018,

4020, 4024, 4100, 4900, 5000, 7500, 7600, and 48000 only.)

8—eight Gbps mode. Fixes the port at a speed of 8 Gbps. (Brocade 48000, 5300, 5100, 300,

and DCX enterprise-class platforms with supported blades and 8 Gbps SFPs installed only.)

10—ten Gbps mode. Fixes the port at a speed of 10 Gbps. (Brocade 8000 only).
