The reboot command reboots the switch to the stored configuration in flash memory
and takes about 1 1/2 minutes. The switch may be in any operational state (enabled or
disabled) before rebooting.
While the switch is rebooting, the Telnet session is closed and all FCPs become inac-
tive. If the switch was part of a fabric, the remaining switches reconfigure.

The switchDisable command is used to take the switch offline for diagnostic tests,
maintenance functions, or replacing a faulty switch.
You can observe and verify this process by watching the front panel light emitting
diodes (LEDs) change color from green to slow flashing amber as each port goes
inactive.

The switchEnable command enables the switch and provides fabric information. The
switch may need to be enabled after maintenance and diagnostic tests.
The switch is enabled with a fabric domain ID of 1. After the fabric is reconfigured this
switch is the principle address manager that is capable of assigning domain IDs to
other switches in the same fabric.
You can observe and verify this process by watching the front panel LEDs change
color from slow flashing amber to green as each port goes active.
