Enabling persistently disabled ports

Before an FCIP tunnel can be used, the associated ports must be persistently enabled.
NOTE: VEX_Port Users: If the fabric is already connected, you must leave the ge0 and ge1 ports disabled
until after you have configured the VEX_Port; this will prevent unintentional merging of the two fabrics.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the portCfgShow command to view ports that are persistently disabled.
3. After identifying the ports, enter the portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable the ports.
