Port types

The external ports can be configured to self-discover the proper type to match the device or switch to which

it is connected. Table 20 lists the possible port types and their meanings.

NOTE: Internal ports can be F_Port or FL_Port only. Port types for internal ports cannot be changed.

Select View > View Port Types to display port type status.

To change the port type for external ports:

1. Select one or more ports in the faceplate display.

2. Select Port > Port Properties to open the Port Properties dialog.

3. Select Port Type from the drop-down list.

4. Click OK to write the new port type to the switch.

Table 20 Port types

State Description

F_Port Fabric port — supports a single public device (N_Port).

FL_Port Fabric loop port — self discovers a single device (N_Port) or a loop of up to

126 public devices (NL_Port).

G_Port Generic port — self discovers as an F_Port or an E_Port.

GL_Port Generic loop port — self discovers as an F_Port, FL_Port, or an E_Port.

GL_Port is the default port type. A single device on a public loop will

attempt to configure as an F_Port first, then if that fails, as an FL_Port.

E_Port Expansion port — the mode that a G_Port or GL_Port is in when attached

by an ISL to another fibre channel switch.
