ports command

This command sets and displays the network port configuration settings for the CMM and I/O modules.

Note: Changes to the -ftpe, -snmp1ae, -snmp3ae, -snmpte, -sshe, -ftpp, -ftpdp, -httpp, -httpsp, -snmpap, -snmptp, -sshp, -tcme, -telnete, -telnetp, -telnett, or -tftpp settings become active immediately. Changes to the remaining settings become active after the next reset of the CMM.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or ports command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the ports command.

Note: The CMM HTTP and HTTPS ports are open at all times. Port behavior is determined by the CMM HTTPS port setting, which can be affected by the CMM chassis security policy setting:
  • When the CMM HTTPS port is enabled, the HTTP port (port 80) remains open and redirects to the HTTPS port (port 443). When the chassis security policy is set to secure, the CMM HTTPS port is automatically enabled and its setting cannot be changed.
  • When the CMM HTTPS port is disabled, the HTTPS port (port 443) remains open and redirects to the HTTP port (port 80).

The command table is a multi-row, four-column table where each row describes a CMM CLI command option: column one lists command function, column two provides a detailed command description, column three shows command-option syntax, and column four lists valid command targets.
