fc port-mode F | E

Configures the FC switch port mode.

Syntax
fc port-mode F | E
Parameters
None
Defaults
The port mode is:
  • F—Multiswitch mode
  • N—NPG mode
Command Mode
Fibre Channel INTERFACE
Usage Information
  • The configurations are supported only in the multiswitch mode. In F_port mode, all the ports operate as F Port. On enabling the multiswitch mode, a port works as either a F_port or an E_port.
  • To change modes, disable current mode and enable the new mode. This operation leads to traffic disruption on the corresponding port.
  • You can disable the multiswitch mode only if you delete the related configurations.
  • For NPG switch mode, the default port mode is N. You can change the port mode to F. The NPG switch mode does not support E port mode.
  • In F port switch mode, you cannot change the port mode to E or F.
  • The no form of this command resets the fc port mode to the default value.
Example 
OS10(config-if-fc-1/1/1)#fc port-mode E
Supported Releases
10.5.1.0 or later
