Enables or disables E_Port capability on a port.
Synopsis portcfgeport [slot/]port,mode
Description Use this command to enable or disable E_Port capability on a port. E_Port capability is enabled by
default. When an inter-switch link (ISL) is connected to a port and the port's E_Port capability is
disabled, the ISL is segmented. No data traffic between two switches is routed through this port.
Fabric management data, such as zoning information, are not exchanged through this port either.
Regardless of how many E_Ports are connected between two switches, the maximum routing paths
are limited to 16 E_Ports.
Notes Changes made by this command are persistent across switch reboots or power cycles.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
