Dell SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.3

Fibre Channel interfaces

OS10 unified port groups support FC interfaces. A unified port group operates in Fibre Channel or Ethernet mode. To activate FC interfaces, configure a port group to operate in Fibre Channel mode and specify the port speed. By default, FC interfaces are disabled.

S4148U-ON

On a S4148U-ON switch, FC interfaces are available in all port groups. The activated FC interfaces depend on the currently configured port profile. For more information, see S4148U-ON port profiles.

1. Configure a unified port group in CONFIGURATION mode. Enter 1/1 for node/slot. The port-group range depends on the switch.

   port-group node/slot/port-group

2. Activate the unified port group for FC operation in PORT-GROUP mode. The available FC modes depend on the switch.

   mode fc {32g-4x | 32g-2x | 32g-1x | 16g-4x | 16g-2x | 8g-4x}

   • 8g-4x — Split a unified port group into four 8 GFC interfaces.
   • 16g-2x — Split a unified port group into two 16 GFC interfaces.
   • 16g-4x — Split a unified port group into four 16 GFC interfaces.
   • 32g-1x — Split a unified port group into one 32 GFC interface. A 1x-32G interface has a rate limit of 28G.
   • 32g-2x — Split a unified port group into two 32 GFC interfaces.
   • 32g-4x — Split a unified port group into four 32 GFC interfaces. Each 4x-32GE breakout interface has a rate limit of 25G.
3. Return to CONFIGURATION mode.

   exit

4. Enter FC Interface mode to enable data transmission. Enter a single interface, a hyphen-separated range, or multiple interfaces separated by commas.

   interface fibrechannel node/slot/port[:subport]

5. (Optional) Reconfigure the interface speed in INTERFACE mode.

   speed {8 | 16 | 32 | auto}

6. Apply vfabric configuration on the interface. For more information about vfabric configuration, see Virtual fabric.

   vfabric fabric-ID

7. Enable the FC interface in INTERFACE mode.
