Enabling a port
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the appropriate command based on the current state of the port and whether it is
necessary to specify a slot number:
•
To enable a port that is disabled, enter the command portEnable portnumber or
portEnable slotnumber/portnumber.
•
To enable a port that is persistently disabled, enter the command portCfgPersistentEnable
portnumber or portCfgPersistentEnable slotnumber/portnumber.
If you change port configurations during a switch failover, the ports may become disabled. To
bring the ports online, re-issue the portEnable command after the failover is complete.
