tests on any port. To use this option, follow the detailed steps in the appropriate
service manual for your Edge Switch.
Swap Ports (FICON Management Style)
Note: This procedure applies only to the Edge Switch 2/32. FICON Management Style
is not available on the Edge Switch 2/24.
Click Swap Ports to display the Swap Ports dialog box. Use this dialog box to
swap one port address for another. For example, if the current address for port 0 is
04 and the current address for port 1 is 05, you can swap so that the address for
port 0 is 05, and the address for port 1 is 04.
Note: Before swapping ports, make sure that the system administrator varies devices
offline that are attached to the ports whose addresses you are going to swap. Ports to
be swapped are blocked during this procedure, because swapping ports is disruptive to
port operation.
To swap ports, use the following steps:
1. Click Maintenance > Swap Ports. The Swap Ports dialog box displays, as
shown in Figure 57 .

2. Enter the first address (in hexadecimal format).
