Configuration steps

Port ge1 is configured in optical mode
Setting the GbE port operating mode (FX8-24 blade only)
The GbE ports on an FX8-24 blade can operate in one of three ways:
• 1 Gbps mode. GbE ports 0 through 9 may be enabled as GbE ports, with the XGE ports
disabled. The 10GbE (FTR_10G) license is not required.
• 10 Gbps mode. 10GbE ports xge0 and xge1 may be enabled, with GbE ports 0 through 9
disabled. The 10GbE (FTR_10G) license is required and must be assigned to the slot in which
the FX8-24 blade resides.
• Dual mode. GbE ports 0 through 9 and 10GbE port xge0 may be enabled, with xge1 disabled.
The 10GbE (FTR_10G) license is required and must be assigned to the slot in which the FX8-24
blade resides.
NOTE
Switching between 10Gbps mode and 1Gbps mode disrupts FCIP traffic.
NOTE
Before changing operating modes for a port, you must delete the port’s FCIP configuration.
You must configure the desired GbE port mode of operation for the FX8-24 blade using the
bladeCfgGeMode --set <mode> -slot <slot number> command. The command options are as
follows.
--set mode 1g enables the GbE ports 0 through 9 (xge0 and xge1 are disabled).
10g enables ports xge0 and xge1 (ge0-ge9 ports are disabled).
dual enables the GbE ports 0 through 9 and xge0 (xge1 is disabled).
-slot slot number Specifies the slot number for the FX8-24 blade.
The following example enables GbE ports 0 through 9 on an FX8-24 blade in slot 8. Ports xge0 and
xge1 are disabled.
switch:admin> bladecfggemode --set 1g –slot 8
You can use the bladecfggemode --show command to display the GbE port mode for the FX8-24
blade in slot 8, as shown in the following example.
switch:admin> bladecfggemode --show –slot 8
bladeCfgGeMode: Blade in slot 8 is configured in 1GigE Mode
1GigE mode: ge0-9 ports are enabled (xge0 and xge1 are disabled)
switch:admin>
Configuring a GbE or XGE port IP address
You must configure an IP address, netmask, and an MTU size for each GbE port that you intend to
use. This is done using the portCfg ipif create command. The following examples create the
addressing needed for the basic sample configuration in Figure 10.
The following command creates an IP interface for port ge0 on the FX8-24 blade in slot 8 of the
Brocade DCX-4S.
switch:admin> portcfg ipif 8/ge0 create 192.168.1.24 255.255.255.0 1500
