• ismPortSet12x: Manually enables ports for 12X on a port-by-port basis.This
command has the following syntax:
ismPortSet12x <portName> <n>
The option n can be either 2 (12x mode is ENABLED 12X ONLY), 1 (12x mode
is ENABLED AUTO 1X/4X/12X) or 0 (disable).
Using this command to enable external ports is detailed in the following section.
NOTE:
Using any of these commands with just a name specified displays the
current values for the port(s).
Enabling External Ports
Enabling 12X ports is achieved by combining three, 4X ports into a group (the first
port in the group is known as the master port). With the CLI command
ismPortSet12x, the user enables each port (one at a time) of a group to create
the 12X port. For example, to create a 12X port using ports 16 through 18, do the
following:
NOTE:
Ports are combined in groups of three, sequentially. For example, each 9024
has the following possible combinations:
Ports 1 through 3
Ports 4 through 6
Ports 7 through 9
Ports 10 through 12
Ports 13 through 15
Ports 16 through 18
Ports 19 through 21
Ports 21 through 24
1. Log into the CLI as admin.
2. Enable port 16 with the command:
ismPortSet12x Cable16 1.
and press Enter.
3. Enable ports 17 and 18 using same command as above, changing the port
number each time (i.e., Cable17, Cable18, etc.).
