Disables a port persistently.

Synopsis

portcfgpersistentdisable [slotnumber/]portnumber

Availability

admin

Description

Use this command to persistently disable a port. Persistently disabled ports remain disabled across power

cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default, a port is enabled persistently. The change in

configuration is effective immediately.

The persistent disable configuration overrides all other port configurations but it does not change the

configuration of any other port settings. Use the portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable a

port persistently. A persistent-enabled port reenables all previously set port configurations of that port.

The switch still runs power-on diagnostics and initializes a persistently disabled port. The portEnable

command fails when directed to a persistently disabled port. The switchEnable command does not

enable the persistently disabled ports of that switch, and the bladeEnable command does not enable

the persistently disabled ports of that blade..

The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable

configurations of the ports within the switch.

Because the default state of the port is persistently enabled, the persistent disable state is cleared by the

portCfgDefault command.
