Port Swapping The FICON port swapping feature is only provided for maintenance purposes. The FICON port swapping feature causes all configuration associated with old-port-number and new port-number to be swapped, including VSAN configurations. Cisco MDS switches allow port swapping for nonexistent ports as follows: • Only FICON-specific configurations (prohibit, block, and port address mapping) are swapped. • No other system configuration is swapped. • All other system configurations are only maintained for existing ports.
