2 switchEnable switchEnable Enables all user ports on a switch. SYNOPSIS switchenable DESCRIPTION NOTES OPERANDS EXAMPLES SEE ALSO Use this command to enable all user ports on a switch. All Fibre Channel ports that passed the power-on self test (POST) are enabled. They can come online if connected to a device, or remain offline if disconnected. Use switchEnable to re-enable the switch after making configuration changes or running offline diagnostics. If the switch is connected to a fabric, it rejoins the fabric. If the switch remains the principal switch, it assigns itself a domain ID. If another switch assumes the principal role, then the re-enabled switch becomes a subordinate switch and accepts a domain ID from the principal. As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes to green for online ports, or to amber for uninitialized ports. Disconnected ports remain unlit. When this command is executed on a logical switch, only the ports allocated to the logical switch are enabled. To enable the entire chassis, use the chassisEnable command. 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.
