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.
