Swapping ports
If a port malfunctions, or if you want to connect to different devices without having to re-wire your
infrastructure, you can move a port’s traffic to another port (swap ports) without changing the I/O
Configuration Data Set (IOCDS) on the mainframe computer.
To swap ports:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the portSwapEnable command (to enable the command for port swapping).
3. Issue the portDisable command to disable the two ports to be swapped.
4. Issue the portSwap command to swap the ports.
Any port in the switch can be used as the alternate for any other port within the same switch.
5. Re-enable the ports by issuing the portEnable command.
6. Issue the portSwapDisable command to disable the command for port swapping)
In the following example:
switch:admin> portswapenable
switch:admin> portdisable [slot/] portA [slot/]portB
switch:admin> portswap [slot/] portA [slot/]portB
switch:admin> portenable [slot/] portA [slot/]portB
switch:admin> portswapdisable
where:
• slot is the slot number of the port blade for a system with port blades (optional).
• portA is the original port number.
• portB is the alternate port number.
You can use the portSwapShow command to display information about swapped ports in a switch.
You can use the portSwap command to disable the portswap feature. You cannot use the portSwap
command after this feature is disabled. The enabled state of the portswap feature is persistent across
reboots and power cycles. Enabling and disabling the portswap feature does not affect previously
executed portswap operations.
