Swap Ports Failure of port circuitry behind an optical transceiver may require
swapping the logical port address of the failed port to a known
operational port. This ensures the port address matches information
in the hardware configuration definition (HCD) of an attached host.
NOTE: This procedure swaps hexadecimal logical port addresses, not
decimal port numbers.
To swap ports:
1. At the Element Manager application (management server), select
Swap Ports from the Maintenance menu. The Swap Ports dialog box
displays (Figure 4-15).
