22 portEnable portEnable Enables a port or a range of ports. SYNOPSIS portenable [slot/]port1[-port2] [...] portenable -i [index1[-index2] [...]] [-f] portenable -slot [slot1[-slot2] portenable -h DESCRIPTION NOTES OPERANDS 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 a single port to be enabled by its port number or by its port index number. Port ranges are supported with index numbers or by specifying a slot or a slot range. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports, slots, and port index numbers. Specifying multiple ports with the index (-i) 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 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. 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. This command has the following operands: slot On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be enabled, followed by a slash (/). port1[-port2] Enables a single port or a range of ports identified by port numbers. The port range cannot span slots, but you can specify multiple port ranges separated by a space, for example 3/1-4 4/7-9. -i index1[-index2] Enables a port or a range of ports identified by port index numbers. You may specify multiple index ranges separated by a space, for example, 33-38 40-60. -f Ignores nonexisting ports. This operand is valid only with the -i option. -slot [slot1[-slot2] Enables all ports on a slot or on a range of slots, for example, -s 3-5. Multiple slot ranges are not supported with this command. -h Displays the command usage. Fabric OS Command Reference 717 53-1001764-01
