Fabric OS 5.0.0 command reference guide 431
Enables a port persistently.
Synopsis
portcfgpersistentenable [slotnumber/]portnumber
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to persistently enable a port. Persistently enabled ports remain enabled across power
cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default, a port is enabled persistently. The change in
configuration is effective immediately.
A persistent port enable reenables all previously set port configurations of that port. A persistently enabled
port can temporarily be disabled by the portDisable or switchDisable command. The
switchDisable command will also disable the persistently enabled ports of that switch.
The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable
configurations of the ports within the switch.
The configuration commands configDefault and portCfgDefault do not modify the persistent
enable attribute of a port.
Operands
This command has the following operands:
When no operand is specified, the command reports the current port persistently enabled status for all
ports in the switch. The value of YES is displayed for ports that are persistently enabled.
Examples
To configure a port as persistently enabled and then display all ports that are persistently enabled:
portCfgPersistentEnable
slotnumber For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to
configure, followed by a slash (/).
portnumber Specify a port number to configure, relative to its slot for bladed
systems. Use switchShow to display a list of valid ports. This
operand is optional; if omitted, this command displays the
persistently enabled condition for all ports.
