Enabling and Disabling a Port
On FC4-18i and FC4-16IP port blades, all ports are disabled by default. You can disable and reenable
them as needed.
Note
If FC Routing is disabled, then all of the EX_Ports are automatically disabled and you cannot enable
them until FC Routing is enabled.
If a port is not licensed you cannot enable it until you install the appropriate license, such as a Ports on
Demand or N-Port ID Virtualization license (see
information). The Licensed field located in the General tab in the Port Management module indicates
whether a port is licensed.
Note
If you disable a principal ISL port (an ISL port that has been designated by the fabric to be a part of the
path to communicate with the principal switch), the fabric reconfigures.
If you disable a port that was connected to a device, that device is no longer accessible from the fabric.
For more information, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
