To swap ports, perform the following steps.

When the Port Swap dialog box is launched for a swapped port, the dialog box displays “The
Selected port is already Swapped”

7. Enter the number of the port with which you want to swap the current port.

If the port is on a blade, you must also provide the slot number.

NOTE

Port swap is not supported above the 16th port in a 48 port card in FMS mode.

8. Click Ok.
