Port Auto Disable
NOTE
Port Auto Disable requires devices running Fabric OS 6.3 or later.
Port Auto Disable (PAD) allows you to enable and disable Port Auto Disable on individual FC_ports
or on all ports on a selected device, as well as unblock currently blocked ports. Enabling port auto
disable on a port or device configures ports to become blocked when any of the following five
events occur:
• Loss of Sync
• Loss of Signal
• OLS (Offline Primitive Sequence)
• NOS (Not Operational Primitive Sequence)
• LIP (Loop Initialization Primitive Sequence)
For Fabric OS devices running 7.0 or later, you can configure ports to become blocked when a
specific event is triggered (one or more of the events listed above).
You can also suspend or resume Port Auto Disable on a switch.
