The following example shows how to set the gateway for Gigabit Ethernet port 1 in node 6,
slot 3 using a gateway address of
172.16.1.1:
The following examples show usage of controlport config:
NOTES
■ The ct, cl2, or rate subcommands automatically resets the port for the changes to take
effect.
■ Issue the showport command with either the –i or –par options to verify the success of
the
controlport command. See showport on page 22.121.
■ Resetting a port causes a momentary dip in throughput, but no loss of connectivity.
■ The -f option forces the operation. Without the flag, the command prompts for
confirmation. In some cases, unless the TPDFORCE_OVERRIDE environment variable is set,
the command asks for confirmation even when the
-f option is specified because the
operation might disrupt the system operation.
■ Use caution when changing modes for ports in LSI Fibre Channel adapters. Changing the
mode of one port in a pair (for example, from initiator to target) causes the other port in
the pair to also undergo a mode change. In the case where one port in the pair is offline
(and therefore a mode change can be allowed), but the partner port is online, changing
the mode of the offline port causes the online partner port to undergo mode change as
well. This results in loss of use of the partner port because it is no longer online.
■ Issuing the controlport rst -l command affects both ports of a port pair. Only use this
command when irreversible damage has been done to a port or port pair.
■ If specified, <ctval> will depend on the <connmode> value:
◆ If <connmode> is disk, then <ctval> can only be loop
