portCfgLport
Lock a port as an L_PORT.
Synopsis
portCfgLport port, lockmode, [,privatemode]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to designate a port as an L_PORT. The switch will then only attempt to initialize
that port as an FL_PORT. The switch never attempts point-to-point (F_PORT) initialization on the
port. However, if the device attached to the port initiates point-to-point communication, then the
switch will respond accordingly, and the port may then become an F_PORT.
Similarly, being locked as an L_PORT will not prevent the port from becoming an E_PORT.
Locking a port as an L_PORT only affects what actions the switch initiates. It does not change how
the switch responds to initialization requests.
Operands
This command has the following operands:
port
The port number to be configured. Valid values for port number vary depending
on the switch type. This operand is required.
lockmode
Specify 1 to configure the specified port as a locked L_PORT. Specify 0 to
de-configure the specified port from its previous role as a locked L_PORT. This
operand is required.
privatemode
Specify 1 to configure the L_PORT as a private L_PORT (then FLOGI will be
rejected). Specify 0 to configure the L_PORT as a normal public L_PORT. The
default value is 0. This operand is optional.
Example
To configure switch port 3 as a locked L_PORT:
