Description
This command enables a user to designate a port as a locked G_Port. Once this is
done, the switch attempts to initialize that port as an F_Port only, and does not
attempt loop initialization (FL_Port) on the port. However, if the device attached
to the port initiates loop communication, then the switch responds accordingly
and the port can then become an FL_Port. Similarly, a port designated as a G_Port
can become an E_Port.
Locking a port as a G_Port only changes the actions initiated by the switch; it does
not change how the switch responds to initialization requests.
The configuration is saved in the non-volatile memory and is persistent across
switch reboot or power cycle.
