Modifying Port Operating Characteristics

You can make permanent or temporary changes to port operating characteristics.

You make permanent port configuration changes using the SetConfig Port

command. These changes are saved in the active configuration and are

preserved across switch or port resets. The Set Port command makes temporary

changes that apply until the next port or switch reset, or until you activate a

configuration.

The following example permanently changes the port 1 administrative state:

SANbox #> admin start
SANbox (admin) #> config edit
SANbox (admin-config) #> set config port 1
A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.
Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.
If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the list
press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.
