Description Use this command to disable a switch port. If the port is connected to
another switch, the fabric may reconfigure. If the port is connected to
one or more devices, the devices can no longer communicate with the
fabric.
If the port was on line before being disabled, the following indicate a
state transition: RSCN, SNMP trap, Web pop-up window.
The front panel LED of a disabled port flashes yellow with a two-
second cycle.
Operands This command has the following operand:
slotnumber Specify the slot number in an ED-12000B
switch. The slot number must be followed by
a slash ( / ) and the port number.

from 1 to 10. Slot number 5 and 6 are control
processor cards, and slot 1 through 4 and 7
through 10 are switch cards. On each switch
card, there are 16 ports counted from the
bottom 0 to 15. A particular port must be
represented by both slot number (1 through 4
or 7 through 10) and port number (0 through
