NOTE
You must enable Lossless DLS on both the source and destination switches before you decommission an E-Port.
NOTE
Fabric tracking must be enabled (refer to Brocade Network Advisor User Manual

accept changes in the Management application client.
Select the E-Port in the Product List, then select Configure > Port Commissioning > Decommission > Port.
While decommissioning is in progress, a down arrow icon displays next to the port icon in the Product List. The port
decommissioning status (Port Decommission in Progress or Decommissioned E Port) displays in the Additional Port

“Viewing a port commissioning deployment report”
When the decommission is complete, an application event displays in the Master Log detailing success or failure.
