interface vfc

To configure a virtual Fibre Channel (VFC) interface, use the interface vfc command. To return to the default settings, use the no form of this command.

interface vfc vfc-id {bind interface ethernet slot/ port | shutdown | switchport mode E/ F}

nointerface vfc vfc-id {bind interface ethernet slot/ port | shutdown | switchport mode E/ F}

interface vfc slot/ port {shutdown | switchport mode E/ F}

nointerface vfc slot/ port {shutdown | switchport mode E/ F}

Syntax Description

vfc-id

Virtual interface ID. The range is from 1 to 8192.

bind interface ethernet

Specifies that the VFC interface be bound to a specified Ethernet interface.

slot/ port

Ethernet interface slot number and port number. The slot number is from 1 to 255, and the port number is from 1 to 128.

shutdown

Specifies that the interface state be changed to administrative down.

force

(Optional) Specifies that the interface state be forcefully changed to administrative down.

switchport

Specifies the switch port parameters.

mode

Specifies the port mode of the VFC interface.

Modification

5.2(1)

This command was introduced on the Cisco Nexus 7000 and MDS 9500 Series Switches.

Usage Guidelines

You can specify a range of interfaces by entering a command with the following example format: 


interface vfc 1 - 3 , vfc 5 - 7

Use the no shutdown command to enable the interface.

The interface vfc slot/port command is used to create a VFC implicitly bound for a particular Ethernet interface x/y.

Examples

This example shows how to enter interface configuration mode for VFC interface 3: 

switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# interface vfc 3 
switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to create a VFC (VFC 1/3) which will be implicitly bound to the Ethernet interface 1/3: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface vfc 1/3 
switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to create a VFC (vfc-po 3) bound to the Ethernet port channel 3: 

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface vfc-port-channel 3
