portDisable
The portDisable command disables a specific port. Devices attached to a disabled
port cannot communicate with the fabric. The command syntax is
portDisable
<port #>.
portEnable
The following example shows the portEnable command, which is used to enable a
specific port. The command syntax is
portEnable <port #>.
portErrShow
Figure 4-4 shows an example of the portErrShow command screen, which displays
an error summary for all ports. One output line is displayed per port, and shows error
counters in ones, thousands (the number is followed by 'k'), or millions (the number is
followed by 'm'). The fields are described in Table 4-13. The figure shows an eight-port
switch where port six has a high number of errors and should be examined.
