Synopsis portcfgeport [slotnumber/]portnumber, mode
Description Use this command to enable or disable a port from becoming an E_Port. The E_Port capability is
enabled by default unless this command is used to disable it. When a port is configured as a
non-E_Port through this command, an ISL connected to this port 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 currently 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.
