portCfgEport
Enable or disable a port from becoming an E_Port.
Synopsis
portCfgEport [<port_number>, <mode>]
Availability admin
Description This command allows a user to enable/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 will be segmented. No data traffic between two
switches will be routed through this port. Fabric management data, such as
Zoning information, will not be exchanged through this port either.
The configuration is saved in the non-volatile memory and is persistent
across switch reboot or power cycle.
Operands The following operands are optional:
port_number
Specify the port number to be configured. Valid values
are 0-7 or 0-15 depending on the switch type.
mode
Specify 1 or 0 to enable or disable a port as an E_Port.
Specify 1 to enable the port to become an E_Port. This
is the default port state. Specify 0 to disable the port
from becoming an E_Port. When the
port_number
operand is present, the
mode
operand must also be
present.
When no operand is specified, the command reports a list of ports that are
disabled from becoming E_Ports.
