Síntomas
Error: Cannot configure IP address on port ge0 while in Optical GE mode.
Causa
Configuring GE Mode on the Brocade 7800 Switches:
The Brocade 7800 Extension Switch is configured with eight GE ports: two extensions RJ45 copper GbE ports and six optical ports that support SFP+ transceivers.
GE0 and GE1 are always in copper mode and GE2 through GE7 are always in optical mode by default.
However, only six are usable at a time as GE0 through GE1 and GE2 through GE3 are mutually exclusive.
Customizable per customer requirement.

Workaround
Step 1: Use the below command to understand the GE port mode in use.
Step 2: The Ethernet interfaces can be enabled in copper or optical mode using the extncfg command as follows: •
For copper mode, use the following command.
For optical mode, enter
We could change the modes either way according to the requirement.
Step 3: Verify the Mode of the GE port using below command to verify the reflected change.
Step 4: Continue to configure the IP address of Gig ports now as the required mode is selected.
Step 1: Use the below command to understand the GE port mode in use.
extncfg –show
Step 2: The Ethernet interfaces can be enabled in copper or optical mode using the extncfg command as follows: •
For copper mode, use the following command.
#extncfg --ge-mode copper
NOTE: In this mode, GE0 and GE1 are enabled by default and usable but ports GE2 and GE3 are disabled by default.
For optical mode, enter
extncfg --ge-mode optical
NOTE: In this mode, GE0 and GE1 are disabled by default whereas GE2 and GE3 are enabled.
We could change the modes either way according to the requirement.
Step 3: Verify the Mode of the GE port using below command to verify the reflected change.
extncfg –show
Step 4: Continue to configure the IP address of Gig ports now as the required mode is selected.
