Using this command to enable external ports is detailed in the following section.

NOTE:Using any of these commands without a 1 or 0 displays the current values

for the port(s).

2.3.7.5.1

Enabling External Ports

Enabling 12X ports is achieved by combining three, 4X ports into a group. With the

CLI command ismPortSet12x, the user enables each port (one at a time) of a

group to create the 12X port. For example, to create a 12X port using ports 16

through 18, do the following:

NOTE:Ports are combined in groups of three, sequentially. For example, each

9024 has the following possible combinations:

❑ Ports 1 through 3

❑ Ports 4 through 6

❑ Ports 7 through 9

❑ Ports 10 through 12

❑ Ports 13 through 15

❑ Ports 16 through 18

❑ Ports 19 through 21

❑ Ports 21 through 24

1. Log into the CLI as admin.

2. Enable port 16 with the command:

ismPortSet12x Cable16 1.

and press Enter.

3. Enable ports 17 and 18 using same command as above, changing the port

number each time (i.e., Cable17, Cable18, etc.).

NOTE:If spaces are used in the portName syntax (e.g., Cable 5), it must

bounded by quotes (i.e., “Cable 5”).

4. Reboot the chassis to activate the changes.
