Telnet Commands 149

portCfgLport

Lock a port as an L_PORT.

Synopsis

portCfgLport port_number mode

Availability admin

Description This command enables a user to designate a port as an L_PORT. The

switch will then only attempt to initialize that port as an FL_PORT. The

switch will never attempt point-to-point (F_PORT) initialization on the

port. However, if the device attached to the port initiates point-to-point

communication, then the switch will respond accordingly, and the port may

then become an F_PORT.

Similarly, being locked as an L_PORT will not prevent the port from

becoming an E_PORT. Locking a port as an L_PORT only affects what

actions the switch initiates. It does not change how the switch responds to

initialization requests.

Operands The following operands are required:

port_number

The port number to be configured: 0-7 or 0-15.

mode
