Description
The mark port command is used to mark a faulty port as defective to prevent the
use of the port in other administrative operations (for example, adding a
data-module or station). Ports on any type of circuit pack may be marked except
for circuit packs that are administered automatically (for example, Tone Detector,
Tone Generator, Announcement, Speech Synthesizer, Call Classifier and
Maintenance/Test circuit packs) when the circuit pack is installed. When the
mark port command is entered, the specified port is marked. If the port can be
administered manually, and if the port is not assigned, then the port is marked as
faulty. The port can be restored to service by using the clear port command. All
marked ports can be displayed in a list format via the list marked-ports
command. All marked port information is saved as part of translations.
Defaults
No defaults.
