Enables a port to become an E_Port or prevents a port from becoming an E_Port.
Synopsis
portcfgeport [slotnumber/]portnumber, mode
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to enable a port to become an E_Port or to prevent 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 is
segmented. No data traffic between two switches is routed through this port. Fabric management data,
such as zoning information, are not exchanged through this port either.
Regardless of how many E_Ports are connected between two switches, the maximum routing paths are
currently limited to 16 E_Ports.
Changes made by this command are persistent across switch reboots or power cycles.
