enable

speed [transmission_speed] state [state]

Keywords [port_number]

Specifies the port. Ports are numbered beginning with 0.

bypass [alpa]

Sends a Loop Port Bypass (LPB) to a specific Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (ALPA) or to all ALPAs on the arbitrated loop. [alpa] can be a specific ALPA or the keyword ALL to choose all ALPAs.

clear

Clears the counters on the port. This keyword does not require an admin session.

enable

Sends a Loop Port Enable (LPE) to all ALPAs on the arbitrated loop.

speed [transmission_speed]

Specifies the transmission speed for the specified port. Choose one of the following port speed values:

1Gb/s

One gigabit per second.

2Gb/s

Two gigabits per second.

Auto

The port speed is automatically detected.

state [state]

Specifies one of the following administrative states for the specified port:

Online

Places the port online. This activates and prepares the port to send data.
