portCfgPersistentEnable portCfgPersistentEnable Persistently enables a port or a range of ports. Synopsis portcfgpersistentenable portcfgpersistentenable [slot/]port1[-port2] [...] portcfgpersistentenable -i [index1[-index2] [...] [-f]] portcfgpersistentenable -x [hex1[-hex2] [...] [-f]] portcfgpersistentenable -s[lot] [slot1[-slot2] portcfgpersistentenable -h Description Use this command to persistently enable a port or a range of ports. If the port is connected to another switch when this command is issued, the fabric may reconfigure. After the port is persistently enabled, devices connected to the port can again communicate with the fabric. You can identify a single port to be configured by its port number or by its port index number in decimal or hexadecimal format. Port ranges are supported with port numbers, index numbers (decimal or hexadecimal) or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports, slots, and port index numbers. When used without operands, this command displays all persistently enabled ports on the switch. Specifying multiple ports with the index number (-i or -x) or slot (-s) option is supported only if PortSwap is disabled. They are not supported on GbE ports and configured F_Port trunks. Use the -i option without a port index argument to display the portSwap status, or alternately use portSwapShow. For ports that come online after being persistently enabled, the following indications may be sent to indicate a state transition: RSCN, SNMP trap, Web pop-up window. Persistently enabled ports remain enabled across power cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default, a port is enabled persistently, unless the port is capable of routing. The change in configuration is effective immediately. This command re-enables all previously set port configurations of a specified port. You can temporarily disable a persistently enabled port with the portDisable or switchDisable commands. 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. Notes This command is blocked if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode (fmsmode). Instead use portEnable with Active=Saved Mode enabled. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details. This command is not supported on FCoE ports. To enable an FCoE port, use fcoe --enable. Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 719 53-1004112-02
