Enable the switch.
Synopsis
switchEnable
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to enable the switch. All Fibre Channel ports that passed POST are enabled.
They can come online if connected to a device, or remain offline if disconnected. A switch may
need to be enabled if it was previously disabled to make configuration changes or to run
diagnostics.
If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. When this command is issued, the 10
second fabric stability count down is displayed. If this switch remains the principal switch at the
end of the count down, then it assigns itself a domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal
role, then this switch becomes a subordinate switch, and accepts a domain ID from the principal.
See FC-SW for a complete description of this process.
As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes to green for online ports, black for
disconnected ports, or yellow for un-initialized ports.
Operands None.
