The following example shows how to provision a port with the DWDM option.
Switch:admin> portcfgdport --provision -add -dwdm 7/16
The following example shows how to provision a port without the DWDM option.
Switch:admin> portcfgdport --provision -add 7/20
2. (Optional). To remove one or more ports from the provision list, use the portcfgdport --provision -delete [-dwdm]
[ slot /] port_list command. Specifying the -dwdm is optional. When a port is removed from the provision list, the D_Port DWDM
provisioning is automatically cleared.
The following example shows how to delete a port with the DWDM option.
Switch:admin> portcfgdport --provision -delete -dwdm 4/12
The following example shows how to delete a port without the DWDM option.
Switch:admin> portcfgdport --provision -delete 4/16
3. To list the ports in the provision list, use the portcfgdport --provision -show command, as in the following example.
Switch:admin> portcfgdport --provision -show
Slot Port D-Port provision DWDM
=================================
3 4 ON OFF
3 5 ON OFF
Switch:admin> portcfgdport --provision -show 3/2-5
Slot Port D-Port provision DWDM
=================================
3 2 OFF OFF
3 3 OFF OFF
3 4 ON OFF
3 5 ON OFF
The following example shows a port that is not preprovisioned.
Switch:admin> portcfgdport --provision -show 3/2
Slot Port D-Port provision DWDM
=================================
3 2 OFF OFF
4. To enable D_Port mode on a preprovisioned port, use the portcfgdport --enable command. You do not need to disable the port
before running this command. However, this command will display an error message if the particular port is not preprovisioned
using the previous steps.
Specifying -dwdm is optional. If the port is preprovisioned as DWDM, the port is automatically configured as DWDM.
The following example enables the port as D_Port.
Switch:admin> portcfgdport --enable 4/10
The following example enables the port as DWDM.
Switch:admin> portcfgdport --enable -dwdm 5
5. To disable D_Port mode on a preprovisioned port, use the portcfgdport --disable command.
The following example disables the port as D_Port.
Switch:admin> portcfgdport -–disable 4/10
