Configuring an EX_Port
11
• Enable or disable an EX_Port
• Persistently enable or disable an EX_Port
• Enable or disable trunking
• Configure router port cost
ATTENTION
During EX_Port configuration, the port is automatically disabled, and then reenabled when the
changes are applied. Be sure that you do not physically connect a port to a remote fabric before
configuring it as an EX_Port; otherwise, the two fabrics merge and you lose the benefit of Fibre
Channel routing.
You can enable or disable multiple ports at one time. Use Shift-click and Ctrl-click to select multiple
ports in the table, and then click one of the enable or disable tasks in the task bar.
You can select multiple ports in the table, but you can select only one port at a time in the tree.
