qlPortDisable

Disables a QuickLoop port.
Synopsis
qlPortDisable port
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to change the specified port from QuickLoop mode to fabric mode. This
excludes any devices connected to the port from the QuickLoop, and causes the switch to
re-initialize the QuickLoop. If the switch that the port belongs to has a partner that is running in
QuickLoop mode, both switches re-initialize the QuickLoop to form a loop that excludes any
devices connected to the specified port.
If the qlPortDisable command is entered for a port, the qlEnable command has no effect on that
port, because it has been removed from QuickLoop management. The port must be re-enabled
using the qlPortEnable command.
The specified port must be in QuickLoop mode for this command to have effect.
