portCfgPersistentEnable 2 portCfgPersistentEnable Persistently enables a port or a range of ports. Synopsis portcfgpersistentenable portcfgpersistentenable [slot/]port | [slot/]port_range portcfgpersistentenable index | index_range Description Use this command to persistently enable a port or a range of ports. If the port is connected to another switch when this command is issued, the fabric may reconfigure. After the port is persistently enabled, devices connected to the port can again communicate with the fabric. You can identify the ports to be persistently enabled by port number or by port index. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports and port index numbers. When used without operands, this command displays all persistently enabled ports on the switch. For ports that come online after being persistently enabled, the following indications may be sent to indicate a state transition: RSCN, SNMP trap, Web pop-up window. Persistently enabled ports remain enabled across power cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default, a port is enabled persistently, unless the port is capable of routing. The change in configuration is effective immediately. This command re-enables all previously set port configurations of a specified port. You can temporarily disable a persistently enabled port with the portDisable or switchDisable commands. The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable configurations of the ports within the switch. The configuration commands configDefault and portCfgDefault do not modify the persistent enable attribute of a port. Notes This command is blocked if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode (fmsmode). Instead use portEnable with Active=Saved Mode enabled. 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. This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To enable an FCoE port, use fcoe --enable. Operands This command has the following operands: slot On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be enabled persistently, followed by a slash (/). port | port_range Specifies a single port or a range of ports (port1-port2) to enable persistently, relative to the slot for bladed systems. The port range cannot span slots, but you can specify multiple slot_number/port_range pairs. -i Persistently enables a port or a range of ports identified by port index numbers. index_number| index_range Specifies the index number or a range of index numbers (index1-index2) for the ports to be persistently enabled. Port index ranges are supported only if PortSwap is disabled. Fabric OS Command Reference 623 53-1001337-01
