166 XPath OS CLI commands
Sets a port as an EX_Port and sets and displays EX_Port configuration parameters.
Synopsis
portcfgexport port [-a admin] [-f fabricid] [-r ratov]
[-e edtov] [-d domainid] [-p pidformat] [-t auto_negotiate_ELP]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to configure an EX_Port.
This command also displays or changes the EX_Port configuration. If no optional parameter is given, this
command displays the currently configured values; otherwise, it sets the specified attributes to its new
value. The port must be stopped (for example, using the portStop command) prior to setting EX_Port
attributes. The port must be started (for example, using the portStart command) before it can become
active following EX_Port parameter changes.
When the port is not active, the preferred domain ID is settable. This is the domain ID that is used by the
EX_Port's front phantom domain to request a domain ID from the principal switch. The domain ID received
becomes the subsequent preferred domain ID and is the domain ID that is persisted and displayed.
When a port changes from an FL_Port to an EX_Port, the topology implicitly changes to point-to-point.
The output display includes:
Front domain WWN displays the WWN of the front domain. If the port is enabled and state is "OK", the
edge fabric principal switch's domain ID and WWN also are displayed.
Enable or disable Fabric Parameters using the -t operand. Use this attribute to autonegotiate the values of
R_A_TOV, E_D_TOV, and PID format. If the Fabric Parameters attribute value is autonegotiate, the
R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV values display the negotiated values, indicated by an N next to the value. The
negotiated values are specified by the edge switch in the ELP request. If the Fabric Parameter attribute
value is User Configured, the actual configured values are displayed. In such a case, the configured values
of the EX_Port must match that of the edge switch, or else the port is disabled. The default configuration for
Fabric Parameter is autonegotiate on all EX_Ports.
If the State is Not OK, R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV display N/A (not applicable).
The security attributes of the EX_Port also are displayed. If the EX_Port is connected to an edge switch
without security, the information displays Not Applicable. The Authentication type of None indicates there
is no authentication on the port. The remaining security attributes, DH Group, Hash Algorithm, and so
forth, are set to Not Applicable.
If the edge switch is in secure mode, and assuming the DH-CHAP passwords are configured on both the
router and edge switch, the security attributes are displayed as follows:
portCfgEXPort
Authentication Type
DH Group
Hash Algorithm
Edge fabric's primary
WWN
WWN of the primary FCS switch in the secure edge fabric that is
connected to this EX_Port. Possible values for this field include:
"WWN of the Primary FCS: The WWN of the primary FCS when
the edge fabric is secure and the primary FCS is online.
