Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 115
53-1004112-02
chassisEnable
chassisEnable
Enables all user ports in a chassis.
Synopsis chassisenable
Description Use this command to enable a Virtual Fabric-aware chassis. All Fibre Channel ports that passed the power-on self
test (POST) are enabled. They may come online if connected to a device, or remain offline if disconnected. Use
chassisEnable to re-enable the chassis after making configuration changes or running offline diagnostics.
If the chassis is partitioned into multiple logical switches and physically connected to multiple logical fabrics, the
logical switches rejoin their fabrics.
As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes from slow-flashing amber to nonflashing green for online
ports, or to nonflashing amber for ports that do not initialize. Disconnected ports remain unlit. Loopback ports
slowly flash green when online.
Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric
OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.
