portCfgNPort

Enables or disables N_Port functionality for an Access Gateway port.

Synopsis

portcfgnport [slot]port1[-port2] [mode]

Description

Use this command to enable or disable N_Port functionality for an Access Gateway port or for a
range of ports. The enabled N_Ports automatically come online if they are connected to an
enterprise fabric switch that supports NPIV. When used without operands, this command displays
the port configuration.

Notes

NPIV capability must be enabled on the ports connected to the Access Gateway. By default, NPIV is
enabled. Use portcfgnpivport --enable to enable NPIV capability on a port, if it was previously
disabled. Note that enabling or disabling NPIV capability is no supported in Access Gateway mode.

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.
