Enables a port.
Synopsis portenable [slot/]port
Description Use this command to enable a port. If a port is connected to another switch when enabled, the
fabric may reconfigure. Devices connected to the port can now communicate with the fabric.
For ports that come online after being enabled, the following indications might be sent to indicate a
state transition: RSCN, SNMP trap, Web pop-up window.
This command fails if the port’s switch is disabled, the port’s blade is not fully enabled (faulted,
powered off, or disabled), or if the port is persistently disabled.
Notes The front panel LED of an enabled and online port is green.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability"
for details.
Operands This command has the following operands:
