400 Configuring and monitoring FCIP extension services
Enabling persistently disabled ports
Before an FCIP tunnel can be used, the associated ports must be persistently enabled.
NOTE: VEX_Port Users: If the fabric is already connected, you must leave the ge0 and ge1 ports disabled
until after you have configured the VEX_Port; this will prevent unintentional merging of the two fabrics.
To enable a persistently disabled port:
1. Enter the portCfgShow command to view ports that are persistently disabled.
2. After identifying the ports, enter the portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable the ports.
