Basic port parameter configuration

Specifying a stacking port
The port address format is stack unit/slot/port, where:
• stack unit—Specifies the stack unit ID. Range is from 1 to 8.
• slot—Specifies the slot number. Default stacking ports are in slot 2 (FCX S/S-F) and slot3 (FCX
E/I).
• port—Specifies the port number in the slot. Default stacking ports in slot 2 and slot 3 are ports
1 and 2.
This example shows how to specify port 2 in slot 2 of unit 3 in a stack:
Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 3/2/2
Specifying a management port
The management port number is always 1. This example shows how to specify the management
port:
Brocade (config) # interface management 1
FSX
Specifying a data port
The port address format is slot/port, where:
• slot—Specifies the interface slot number. Range is from 1 to 8 (FSX 800) or 1 to 16 (FSX 1600).
• port—Specifies the port number in the slot. Range is from 1 to 48 depending on the interface
module.
This example shows how to specify port 2 in slot 1:
Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 1/2
Specifying a management port
The management port number is always 1. This example shows how to specify the management
port:
Brocade (config) # interface management 1
NOTE
Stacking is not supported on FSX devices.
Assigning port names
You can assign text strings as port names, which help you identify ports with meaningful names.
You can assign port names to individual ports or to a group of ports. You can assign a port name to
physical ports, virtual interfaces, and loopback interfaces.
Assigning a port name
To assign a name to a port, enter commands such as the following:
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 2
Brocade(config-if-e1000-2)# port-name Marsha
