Port Auto Disable
14
Port Auto Disable (PAD) allows you to enable and disable Port Auto Disable on individual FC_ports
or on all ports on a selected device, as well as unblock currently blocked ports. Enabling port auto
disable on a port or device configures ports to become blocked when any of the following five
events occur:
• Loss of Sync
• Loss of Signal
• OLS (Offline Primitive Sequence)
• NOS (Not Operational Primitive Sequence)
• LIP (Loop Initialization Primitive Sequence)
For Fabric OS devices running 7.0 or later, you can configure ports to become blocked when a
specific event is triggered (one or more of the events listed above).
You can also suspend or resume Port Auto Disable on a switch.
