Configures the speed for a single port.
Synopsis portcfgspeed [slotnumber/]portnumber, speed
Description Use this command to set the speed on a specified port. This command disables and then
re-enables the port, and the port comes online with the new speed setting. The configuration is
saved in nonvolatile memory and is persistent across switch reboots or power cycles.
Use the portShow command to display actual port speed levels. Use the portCfgShow command to
display user-specified speed settings.
Notes This configuration cannot be set on VE/VEX_Ports. For a virtual FC port, the speed is always 10 GbE
and port speed auto-negotiation is not possible.

be in place. Refer to
