Changing Port Data Rate - NEC SigmaBlade N8406-040(F) User Manual

Changing Port Data Rate

After completing login to the console of the 8G FC Switch, change the port data rate of each port
on the 8G FC Switch according to the procedure below. (The setting is may or may not be
changed.)
Setting at shipment from factory
The port data rate is fixed to 8Gbps for every port when the 8G FC Switch is shipped from the
factory.
IMPORTANT:
The port data rate of an 8G FC Switch must be set to be the same as that of fibre
channel devices connected to the 8G FC Switch. If the port data rates are different, the
connected fibre channel devices cannot link up to the 8G FC Switch.
If the both port data rates of an 8G FC Switch's port and the connected fibre channel
devices's port are "Auto Negotiate", there may be a problem.
For the port data rate of each fibre channel device to be connected to the 8G FC
Switch, refer to the User's Guide of the fibre channel device.
Type "portcfgshow" command on the console screen.
