Switchdisable - Brocade Communications Systems StoreFabric SN6500B Command Reference Manual

switchDisable

Disables all user ports on a switch.
SYNOPSIS
switchdisable
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to disable all user ports on a switch. All Fibre Channel ports are taken offline. If the
switch was part of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure. As each port is disabled, the front panel
LED changes to a slow-flashing amber.
The switch must be disabled before making configuration changes or before running offline diagnostic
tests. Commands that require the switch to be disabled generate an error message if invoked while the
switch is enabled. It is not necessary to disable the switch before rebooting or powering off.
When this command is executed on a logical switch, only the ports allocated to the logical are disabled.
To disable the entire chassis, use the chassisDisable command.
NOTES
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
