This is configuration of Unified Ports that are part of the 6248
hardware. Unified Ports allows give the ability to configure any of the 32 fixed ports or 16 ports on the expansion module as either 1G, 10G Ethernet or 4G, 8G Fiber Channel. All that it is required is that you have the correct SFP needed for the specific port type.
When you click the Configure Unified Ports action this message pops up
Ports are not automatically configured based on the type of SFP
inserted. When you click Yes the Configure Unified Ports window appears.
See the slider this is how to configure the ports.
By default the slider is in the right most position. In this position all of the ports are in the Unconfigured Ethernet mode.
WARNING****If there is a change to the port mode of any of
the ports on the fixed module (first 32 ports) and you click finish the Fabric Interconnect will reboot. If there is a change to just the expansion module only that module is reset.
