Fabric OS Commands switchcfgpersistentdisable Disable switch persistently. Synopsis switchcfgpersistentdisable Availability Admin Release V3.1.x and V4.1.x Description Use this command to persistently disable the switch. The persistently disabled switch remains disabled across power cycles and switch reboots. It will not participate in fabric reconfiguration and will remain isolated from the rest of the topology. By default a switch is enabled persistently. When this command is executed, it will become effective immediately by disabling the switch, if it is not already disabled. The persistent switch disable configuration overrides all other switch configurations but it does not alter any of them. The switchcfgpersistentenable command will enable the switch persistently. The persistent switch enable will also re-enable all previously set switch configurations. The persistent switch disable configuration will override port persistent enable configurations but it will not alter them. The persistently disabled switch will still run the power on diagnostics and initialize all the ports. A persistently disabled switch can temporarily be enabled by switchenable command until the next switch disable, power cycle, or switch reboot. Operands None. 802 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
