Enables or disables a port from becoming an E_Port.

Synopsis portcfgeport [slotnumber/]portnumber, mode

Description Use this command to enable or disable a port from becoming an E_Port. The E_Port capability is enabled

by default unless this command is used to disable it.

When a port is configured as a non-E_Port through this command, an ISL connected to this port is

segmented. No data traffic between two switches is routed through this port. Fabric management data,

such as zoning information, are not exchanged through this port either.

Regardless of how many E_Ports are connected between two switches, the maximum routing paths are

currently limited to 16 E_Ports.

Changes made by this command are persistent across switch reboots or power cycles.
