Enable or disable a port from becoming an E_Port.
Synopsis
portCfgEport [port, 0|1]
Availability
admin
Description
This command allows a user to enable/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
will be segmented. No data traffic between two switches will be routed through this port. Fabric
management data, such as zoning information will not be exchanged through this port either.
The configuration is saved in the non-volatile memory and is persistent across switch reboot or
power cycle.
Operands This command has the following operands:
port
0|1
When no operands are specified, the command reports a list of ports that are disabled from
becoming E_Ports.
