Telnet Commands

portCfgEport

Enable or disable a port from becoming an E_Port.

Synopsis portCfgEport [port, 0|1]

Availability admin

Description This command allows a user to enable/disable 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

will be segmented. No data traffic between two switches will be routed through this port. Fabric

management data, such as zoning information will not be exchanged through this port either.

The configuration is saved in the non-volatile memory and is persistent across switch reboot or

power cycle.

Operands This command has the following operands:

port Specify the port number to be configured. Valid values for port number vary

depending on the switch type. This operand is optional.

0|1 Specify 1 to enable the port to become an E_Port. This is the default port state.

Specify 0 to disable the port from becoming an E_Port. When the

port_number operand is present, this operand must also be present. This

operand is optional.

When no operands are specified, the command reports a list of ports that are disabled from

becoming E_Ports.

Example To disable port 3 from becoming an E_Port:
