Description
Use this command to designate a port as an L_PORT. The switch will then only
attempt to initialize that port as an FL_PORT. The switch never attempts
point-to-point (F_PORT) initialization on the port. However, if the device attached
to the port initiates point-to-point communication, then the switch will respond
accordingly, and the port may then become an F_PORT.
Similarly, being locked as an L_PORT will not prevent the port from becoming an
E_PORT. Locking a port as an L_PORT only affects what actions the switch
initiates. It does not change how the switch responds to initialization requests.
