Synopsis portcfgnport [slot]port1[-port2] [mode]
Description Use this command to enable or disable N_Port functionality for an Access Gateway port or for a
range of ports. The enabled N_Ports automatically come online if they are connected to an

Notes NPIV capability must be enabled on the ports connected to the Access Gateway. By default, NPIV is
enabled. Use portcfgnpivport --enable to enable NPIV capability on a port, if it was previously
disabled. Note that enabling or disabling NPIV capability is no supported in Access Gateway mode.
