Disabling a Port

To disable a port:

1. Log into the switch as the admin user.

2. At the command line, enter the

portdisable

command using the

following syntax:

portdisable [slotnumber]/portnumber

(Optional) Specify the

slotnumber

and

portnumber

that you want to

disable. If the port is connected to another switch, the fabric may reconfigure.
If the port is connected to one or more devices, these devices are no longer
available to the fabric.

Note:

The slot number is only required for the Core Switch 2/64 switch.

The following example is the command output from the

portdisable

command.
