portEnable 2 portEnable Synopsis Enables a port or a range of ports. portenable [slot/]port_number | [slot/]port_range portenable -i index | index_range Description Use this command to enable a port or a range of ports. If a port is connected to another switch when this command is issued, the fabric may reconfigure. After the port is enabled, devices connected to the port can again communicate with the fabric. The front panel LED of a port that is enabled and online is green. You can identify the ports to be enabled by port number or by port index. Use switchShow for a listing of valid port and port index numbers. For ports that come online after being enabled, the following indications might be sent to indicate a state transition: RSCN, SNMP trap, Web pop-up window. This command fails if the switch is disabled, the port's blade is not fully enabled (faulted, powered off, or disabled), or if the port is persistently disabled. 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 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, followed by a slash (/). port | port_range Specifies a single port or a range of ports (port1-port2) to enable, relative to the slot for bladed systems. The port range cannot span slots, but you can specify multiple slot/port_range pairs separated by a space, for example 3/1-4 4/7-9. -i Enables a port or a range of ports identified by port index numbers. Port index ranges are supported only if PortSwap is disabled. index_number| index_range Specifies the index number or a range of index numbers (index1-index2) for the ports to be enabled. Examples To enable a single port: switch:admin> portenable 2/4 To enable a range of ports: switch:admin> portenable 2/4-8 To enable multiple port ranges: switch:admin> portenable 2/24-26 3/10-12 4/3-4 Fabric OS Command Reference 651 53-1001337-01
