portCfgGPort
Designates a port as a G_Port.
Synopsis portcfggport [slotnumber/]portnumber, mode
Description Use this command to designate a port as a G_Port. After this is done, the switch attempts to initialize that
port as an F_Port only, and does not attempt loop initialization (FL_Port) on the port. A port designated
as a G_Port can become an E_Port. This configuration can be cleared but not set on VE/VEX_Ports.
Changes made by this command are persistent across switch reboots or power cycles.
