OPERANDS

This command has the following operands:

slot

On bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the ports to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).

port_list

Specifies one or more ports, relative to the slot on bladed systems. Use
switchShow for a listing of valid ports. A port list should be enclosed in double
quotation marks and can consist of the following:

A single port, for example, "8" or "5/8" on blades systems.

A port range where beginning and end port are separated by a dash, for
example, "8-13" or "5/8-13" on blades systems. A port range cannot span
multiple slots.

A set of ports separated by commas, for example "3,5,7,8" or "5/3,5,7,8" on
bladed systems.

A wildcard * indicates all ports. The wildcard can be represented as '*' or "*".

--enable

Configures the specified port(s) as D_Port.

You cannot configure the port as a D_Port while Dynamic D_Port tests are in
progress on the port. The operation fails with an error message.

-dwdm

Skips the optical loopback test when you run the D_Port diagnostics over a Dense
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) link or any third party equipment that
connects two switches. This operand is optional.

--disable

Clears the D_Port configuration on the specified ports.

-dwdm

Disables DWDM mode on the port. This operand is optional.

--provision

List of ports that are marked to be set as D_Ports. Use the --enable command to
configure one or more ports from the list as D_Ports.

-add

Adds the ports on the provision list to be configured as D_Ports.

-delete

Removes the ports from the provision list.

-show

Lists all the ports in the provision list.

If the port range is specified, the status of each port on the provision list displays.
Displays ON if the port is in the provision list or OFF if the port is not in the
provision list.

--help

Displays the command usage.

EXAMPLES

To configure a single port as a D_Port:

switch:admin> portdisable 42

switch:admin> portcfgdport --enable 42

Caution: D_Port functionality is only available on 16Gb-capable platforms

with 16Gb FC SFPs, 10Gb FC SFPs, or 8Gb LWL/ELWL FC SFPs, QSFPs or QSFP+.

switch:admin> portenable 42
