Command History
Usage Guidelines A range of 255 port numbers are available for you to assign to all the ports on a switch. You can have
more than 255 physical ports on a switch and the excess ports do not have ports numbers in the default
numbering scheme. When you have more than 255 physical ports on your switch, you can assign
unimplemented port numbers to the ports, or assign duplicate port numbers if they are not used in the
same FICON VSAN. For example, you can configure port number 1 on interface fc1/1 in FICON VSAN
10 and fc10/1 in FICON VSAN 20.
FICON port numbers are not changed for ports that are active. You must first disable the interfaces using
the shutdown command.
You can configure port numbers even when no module is installed in the slot, and before FICON is enabled
on any VSAN.
For more information on assigning port numbers, refer to “FICON Port Numbering” in the Cisco MDS
9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration
Guide.
Note This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class
BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
