portcfgpersistentenable portcfgpersistentenable Enable a port persistently. Synopsis portcfgpersistentenable portnumber Availability Admin Release V3.1.x and V4.1.x Description Operands Use this command to persistently enable a port. Persistently enabled ports remain enabled across power cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default a port is enabled persistently. The change in configuration is effective immediately. The persistent disable configuration overrides all other port configurations but it does not change the configuration of any other port settings. A persistent port enable will re-enable all previously set port configurations of that port. A persistently enabled port can temporarily be disabled by portdisable or switchdisable command. The switchdisable command will also disable the persistently enabled ports of that switch. 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. This command has the following operands: portnumber Specify a port number. Valid values for port number vary depending on the switch type. This operand is required. Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide 551
