<TITLE>Changing display string of port?</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">One of the ports in our BD (6.2.2b68) has had the misfortune of being configured with a display-string of "2". The actual port number is 2:30. We're trying to configure the port, but the display-string is causing "issues".</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">For example:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">CES1.LONI:13 # conf port 2 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Next possible completions:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> <port id> </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">CES1.LONI:13 # conf port 2 redundant </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've tried variations on using unconfigure or "2"ing the port name with no luck.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The options I think I have are:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1) unconfigure the whole slot and rebuild all the configs on the blade</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2) unconfigure the switch, reboot, and paste the config (minus the display string command) back in.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3) use another port….</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any other ideas or hints would be appreciated.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks,</FONT>
