Lock a port as an L_PORT.
portCfgLport port_number mode
admin
This command enables a user to designate a port as an L_PORT. The
switch will then only attempt to initialize that port as an FL_PORT. The
switch will never attempt point-to-point (F_PORT) initialization on the
port. However, if the device attached to the port initiates point-to-point
communication, then the switch will respond accordingly, and the port may
then become an F_PORT.
Similarly, being locked as an L_PORT will not prevent the port from
becoming an E_PORT. Locking a port as an L_PORT only affects what
actions the switch initiates. It does not change how the switch responds to
initialization requests.
The following operands are required:
The port number to be configured: 0-7 or 0-15.
port_number
Specify a value of 1 if the "port_number" is designated
mode
as a locked L_PORT. Specify a value of 0 if the
"port_number" is de-configured from its previous role
as a locked L_PORT..
To configure switch port 3 as a locked L_PORT:
switch:admin> portCfgLport 3, 1
Committing configuration...done.
