The displayed settings are listed below:

Switch Policy

Description

 

 

Smart Insertion

When this policy is enabled, the switch LIPs on the insert of a new

 

port and waits for LIP(f7)s to return prior to insertion. Also ensures

 

that data meets the requirements of Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop

 

(FC-AL) and allows sub-policies to be enabled.

 

 

Auto Cascade*

When a port is connected to another Vixel Model 335 switch, the

 

switch will automatically configure the port to the connected device

 

type.

 

 

Bad Zone recovery*

The switch reinitializes the zone and will bypass zone ports that are

 

down. The switch will bypass all ports when:

 

• Zone 1 has a least one transceiver with a signal and the port is in

 

auto mode.

 

• No ports in the zone are in forced insert mode (Port Control).

 

• The zone state is down.

 

 

No Data Recovery*

The switch will bypass a port if no K characters (Ordered Sets) are

 

detected for 100 usecs. The switch will try to reinsert the port upon

 

detection of valid K characters.

 

 

LIP(F8) Recovery*

The switch will bypass a port if a LIP(F8) is received. The switch will

 

try to reinsert the port when no more LIP (F8)s are received.

 

 

LIP on Port Bypass*

When a port is bypassed, it issues LIP(F7)s to other zone members.

 

 

Bypass on Bad OS

When a port exceeds the threshold of Ordered Set errors within ten

Threshold*

seconds, the switch bypasses the port. Note: The threshold can be

 

adjusted. (224 – 1, the maximum expected error rate is one error

 

within 15 minutes.)
