The ports command node includes the following subnode commands:
down
modify
show
up
Each of the subnode commands is described in detail, with parameters and arguments listed for each command.
Examples of command usage are included in the discussions.
CLI:
ports down -ssid spinserver -netportname network_port_name
GUI: Navigate to the Ports node, then select the appropriate port from the table and run the Down command from the drop-down menu of the action pane.
The ports down command identifies a network port by its SpinServer and network port name and disables it.
-ssid spinserver
This is the ID given to the SpinServer.
-netportname network_port_name
This is the name of the port to be disabled.
The following command example disables an interface named serv1 on a server named Server1.
spinserver::> ports down -ssid Server1 -netportname serv1
CLI:
ports modify -ssid spinserver -netportname network_port_name -mtu maximum_transmission_unit -autonegotiate {true | false} -fullduplex {true | false} -speed speed
GUI: Navigate to the Ports node, then select the appropriate port from the table and run the Show command from the drop-down menu of the action pane. In the table that is displayed, make the appropriate modifications, then run the Modify command from the drop-down menu.
The ports modify command identifies a port and modifies the maximum transmission unit size. An MTU is the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent. By default, server ports have an MTU value of 1500 bytes, which can be changed. Cluster ports are set to a default MTU value of 9000 bytes, which can be changed.
-ssid spinserver
This is the ID given to the SpinServer.
-netportname network_port_name
This is the name of the port whose MTU is to be modified.
-mtu maximum_transmission_unit
This is the MTU size. The default values are 1500 for a server port and 9000 for a cluster port.
-autonegotiate {true | false}
This specifies whether autonegotiation is enabled. The default is true.
-fullduplex {true | false}
This specifies whether full duplexing is enabled. The default is true.
-speed speed
This specifies the port speed.
The following command example identifies a port named serv1 on a server named Server1 and modifies the maximum transmission unit size to 9000 bytes, the autonegotiation value to true, the full duplexing value to false, and the port speed to 1000.
spinserver::> ports modify -ssid Server1 -netportname serv1 -mtu 9000 -autonegotiate true -fullduplex false -speed 1000
CLI:
ports show [-ssid spinserver -netportname network_port_name]
GUI: Navigate to the Ports node. To display information about a specific port, select it from the table and run the Show command from the drop-down menu in the action pane.
The ports show command displays information about one network port or all network ports. After identification is made, the following information about the network port or ports is displayed by the system:
SpinServer ID
Name
MTU
Hardware address (Ethernet address or MAC address)
Online status (up or down)
Link status
Whether autonegotiation is enabled (true or false)
Whether full duplexing is enabled (true or false)
Port speed
To display information about one network port, use the command with the parameters. To display configuration information about a list of ports on the network, use no parameters.
[-ssid spinserver]
This is the ID given to the SpinServer. This parameter is optional; however, if it is used, the -netportname parameter must also be specified.
[-netportname network_port_name]
This is the name of the port. This parameter is optional; however, if it is used, the -ssid parameter must also be specified.
The following command example displays configuration information for all network ports:
spinserver::> ports show
SpinServer ID Name MTU Status Auto Full Speed
Negoti Duplex
p416 clus0 1500 up true true 1000
p416 clus1 1500 up true true 1000
p416 mgmt0 1500 up
p416 serv1 1500 up true true 1000
p416 serv0 1500 up true true 1000
p48 mgmt0 1500 up
p48 clus0 1500 up true true 1000
p48 serv1 1500 up true true 1000
p48 clus1 1500 up true true 1000
p48 serv0 1500 up true true 1000
The following example displays configuration information for a network port named serv1 on a server named Server1.
spinserver::> ports show -ssid Server1 -netportname serv1 SpinServer ID Server1 Name serv1 MTU 1500 MAC Address 00:04:76:F8:D2:FC Status up Link Status link Auto Negotiate true Full Duplex true Speed 1000
CLI:
ports up -ssid spinserver -netportname network_port_name
GUI: Navigate to the Ports node, then select the appropriate port from the table and run the Up command from the drop-down menu of the action pane.
The ports up command identifies a network port by its SpinServer ID and network port name and brings it up for the network.
