Changing the Switch’s Operating Speed
The link speed command enables you to change the switch’s operating speed.
To activate the link speed control, type lsp at the prompt.
Enter either a "2" for 1 Gbps or a "3" for 2 Gbps. You must reset the switch before the
speed change becomes effective.
Viewing and Understanding Zoning Information
The switch’s command line interface displays the two zone configurations: overlapping
zoning and non-overlapping zoning.
For a description of overlapping and non-overlapping zoning, see “Zone Settings” on
page 31.
Overlapping Zoning Configuration
Overlapping zoning can only be implemented in Zone 1 and the switch must be
operating in switching mode. To participate in overlapping zoning, each port must have
their cascade mode configured to "auto".
If the switch is operating using non-overlapping zoning, you can still configure
overlapping zoning within the default zone. If a LIP occurs on any port in the default
zone, it will affect every port in the default zone, regardless of any overlapping zone
configurations. Overlapping zones do not support LIP isolation.
The overlapping zoning configuration displays the ports in Zone 1 and also displays
which ports are blocked from seeing each other.
To view the overlapping zone configuration, type oz.
The current overlapping zoning configuration, by port, is displayed.
To block ports from seeing each other:
1. Type oz to view the current overlapping zone configuration.
2. At the prompt, type oz a:p1-p2 a:p1-p2 r:p1-p2 .. (where a=add port
block pair, r=remove port block pair, p1=1st port, and p2=2nd port
The "-" is optional.
Example: oz a:2-4
A device on port 2 is blocked from viewing devices on port 4. The opposite holds
trues as well (devices on port 4 cannot see devices on port 2).
To remove all port blocks, type oz r at the prompt.
