Persistent enabling and disabling ports

To enable or disable a port so that it remains enabled or disabled across switch restarts, perform

the following steps.

NOTE

Ports cannot be persistently enabled or disabled when FMS is enabled.

1. Select a port in the Switch View to open the Port Administration window.

2. Select the FC Ports, VE/VEx Ports, ICL Ports, or GigE Ports tab.

3. From the tree on the left, select the switch or slot that contains the port.

4. From the table, select one or more ports.

NOTE

Use Shift-click and Ctrl-click to select multiple ports. You can select multiple ports from the

table. You cannot select multiple ports from the tree.

5. Click Persistent Enable or Persistent Disable.

NOTE

Persistent Enable or Persistant Disable is not supported in FMS mode.

NOTE

If the button is gray (unavailable), the port is already in that state or FMS mode is enabled on

the switch gray (unavailable), the port is already in the enabled or disabled state. For example,

if the Enable button is unavailable, the port is already enabled.

If you select multiple ports in both enabled and disabled states, both buttons are active. When

you click either button, the action is applied to all selected ports.

6. Optional: If you are accessing a Brocade 7800 switch, you can set the media type for the GE0

and GE1 GigE ports to either copper or optical.

a. Select the GigE Ports tab.

b. Select either the GE0 or GE1 port.

c. Select either Copper or Optical from the Media Type selection list.

7. Cl ick Yes in the confirmation window.

Configuring NPIV ports

The NPIV license must be installed on a switch before NPIV functionality can be enabled on any

port. For detailed information about understanding and configuring NPIV ports, refer to the Fabric

OS Administrator’s Guide.

NOTE

NPIV feature cannot be disabled when Access Gateway mode is enabled.
