Swapping Ports
This operation applies only if the switch’s operating mode is set to S/390.
(Refer to Configuring the Operating Mode on page 5-4.)
The Swap Ports operation allows you to exchange one port address
for another. For example, if the current address for port 0 is 04 and the
address for port 1 is 05, you can swap so that the address for port 0
has address 05 and port 1 has address 04.
Procedure To swap ports, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the system administrator varies devices off line that
are attached to the ports whose addresses you are going to swap.
2. Click Maintenance on the Product Manager menu bar and select
Swap Ports
on the drop-down menu.
This displays the Swap Ports dialog box (Figure 7-1).
