Portcfgpersistentenable - Brocade Communications Systems A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Command Reference Manual

portCfgPersistentEnable

Persistently enables a port.
Synopsis portcfgpersistentenable [[slot/]port]
Description Use this command to persistently enable a port or a range of ports, or use this command without
operands to display the persistently disabled status of all ports on the switch. Persistently enabled
ports remain enabled 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.
This command re-enables all previously set port configurations of a specified port. A persistently
enabled port can temporarily be disabled by the portDisable or switchDisable commands. The
persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable
configurations of the ports within the switch.
Notes If this port is connected to another switch, the Fabric may reconfigure. If this port is connected to
one or more devices, the devices can now communicate with the Fabric.
The configuration commands configDefault and portCfgDefault do not modify the persistent enable
attribute of a port.
This command is not allowed if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode
(fmsmode). Instead use portEnable with Active=Saved Mode enabled.
For ports that come online after being enabled, the following indications may be sent to indicate a
state transition: RSCN, SNMP trap, Web pop-up window.
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.
