Configuring a port
Configuring a port requires the port to be stopped first. If you do not explicitly stop the port before
configuring it, it will be automatically stopped during the configuration process and then restarted when
the configuration is complete.
You can configure the following ports:
• Fibre Channel U_Port
• Fibre Channel EX_Port
• Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) port for FCIP connectivity
• Gigabit Ethernet port with iSCSI
An EX_Port is a port on a Fibre Channel router that connects to an E_Port in an edge fabric. See ”Using the
FC-FC Routing service” on page 87, for more information.
A GigE port is used for sending and receiving FCIP network. See the HP StorageWorks XPath OS 7.4.x
command reference guide for additional information about FCIP.
Use the following procedure to configure a port:
1. Access the Switch Manager for the switch on which the port resides.
2. Click Ports in the navigation bar.
3. Click the appropriate tab, depending on the type of port or click the All Ports tab to display all ports,
regardless of type.
