Portcfgpersistentdisable - Brocade Communications Systems 1606 Command Reference Manual

portCfgPersistentDisable

Persistently disables a port or a range of ports.
Synopsis portcfgpersistentdisable
portcfgpersistentdisable [slot/]port | [slot/]port_range
portcfgpersistentdisable index | index_range
Description Use this command to persistently disable a port or a range of ports. Persistently disabled ports
remain disabled across power cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default, a port is
enabled persistently, unless the port is capable of routing. The change in configuration is effective
immediately.
You can identify the ports to be persistently disabled by port number or by port index. Use
switchShow for a listing of valid ports and port index numbers. When used without operands, this
command displays all persistently disabled ports on the switch.
The persistent disable configuration overrides existing port configurations, but it does not change
these configurations. Use the portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable a port persistently and
to restore all previously set port configurations for that port. The switch still runs power-on
diagnostics and initializes a persistently disabled port. The portEnable, switchEnable, and
bladeEnable commands do not enable a specific port or ports alone, but these commands
succeed on a switch with one or more persistently disabled ports. The portEnable command fails
when issued on persistently disabled ports.
The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or
enable configurations of the ports within the switch.
Because ports are by default persistently enabled, the persistently disabled state of a port is
cleared by the portCfgDefault command.
Notes This command is blocked if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode
(fmsmode); instead, use portDisable with Active=Saved mode enabled.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To disable an FCoE port, use fcoe --disable.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slot
-i
Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1001337-01
On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be disabled
persistently, followed by a slash (/).
port | port_range
Specifies a single port or a range of ports (port1-port2) to disable
persistently, relative to the slot for bladed systems. The port range cannot
span slots, but you can specify multiple slot_number/port_range pairs.
Persistently disables a port or a range of ports identified by port index
numbers.
