Description
Use this command to enable the switch. All Fibre Channel ports that passed POST
are enabled. They can come online if connected to a device, or remain offline if
disconnected. A switch may need to be enabled if it was previously disabled to
make configuration changes or to run diagnostics.
If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. When this command is
issued, the 10 second fabric stability count down is displayed. If this switch
remains the principal switch at the end of the countdown, then it assigns itself a
domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal role, then this switch becomes
a subordinate switch, and accepts a domain ID from the principal. See FC-SW for
a complete description of this process.
As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes to green for online ports,
black for disconnected ports, or yellow for uninitialized ports.
Operands
None.
