Dell PowerVault 51F 8-Port Fibre Channel Switch Installation and Troubleshooting Guide

The optional parameter

<user name>

is a double-quoted, valid user name.

If the current password is incorrect, the command exits without saving any changes.
If the number of retries attempts is exceeded, the command either steps to the next
user or exits, saving any changes made thus far.

portDisable

The portDisable command disables a specific port. Devices attached to a disabled
port cannot communicate with the fabric. The command syntax is

portDisable

<port #>.

portEnable

The following example shows the portEnable command, which is used to enable a
specific port. The command syntax is

portEnable <port #>.

portErrShow

Figure 4-4 shows an example of the portErrShow command screen, which displays
an error summary for all ports. One output line is displayed per port, and shows error
counters in ones, thousands (the number is followed by 'k'), or millions (the number is
followed by 'm'). The fields are described in Table 4-13. The figure shows an eight-port
switch where port six has a high number of errors and should be examined.
