FICON Issues
Swapping Ports
To swap ports, except the port numbers, using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Issue the
ficon swap portnumber
old-port-number new-port-number
command in EXEC mode.
Note
The
ficon swap portnumber
command might fail if more than one interface on the MDS switch
has the same port number as the
old-port-number
or
new-port-number
specified in the command.
The specified ports are operationally shut down.
Step 2
Physically swap the front panel port cables between the two ports.
Step 3
Issue the
no shutdown
command on each port to enable traffic flow.
Note
If you specify the
ficon swap portnumber
old-port-number new-port-number
after swap
noshut
command, the ports are automatically initialized.
To swap physical Fibre Channel ports, including the port numbers, using the CLI, follow these steps:

Step 2
Physically swap the front panel port cables between the two ports.
Step 3
