portDisable 2 portDisable Synopsis Disables a port or a range of ports. portdisable [slot/]port_number | [slot/]port_range portdisable -i index | index_range Description Use this command to disable a port or a range of ports. If the port is connected to another switch when disabled, the fabric may reconfigure. Devices connected to this port can no longer communicate with the fabric. You can identify the ports to be disabled by port number or by port index. Use switchShow for a listing of valid port and port index numbers. The front panel LED of a disabled port flashes yellow with a two-second cycle. If the port was online before being disabled, a state transition will be indicated in one of the following ways: RSCN, SNMP trap, or Web pop-up window. 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. This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To disable an FCoE port, use fcoe --disable.
