CHAPTER 3 Management

 

 

Note: The mc command must be entered prior to issuing one of the submenu commands.

Policies

You can view the current global policy settings and configure the switch to use the policies you select.

Note: Before you type a command for port policies, select the desired port by typing po

#(where # is the desired port number).

An explanation of the available policies follows:

Policy

Description

 

 

Smart insertion

Ensures that data meets the requirements of Fibre Channel

 

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

 

 

Bad zone recovery

Reacts to bad zone indications by putting all ports through the

 

normal insertion process and allowing only those ports sending

 

ordered sets to insert.

 

 

No data recovery

The switch will automatically bypass a port if no K characters

 

(Ordered Sets) are detected within a certain timeframe. The

 

switch will try to reinsert the port upon detection of valid K

 

characters.

 

 

LIP F8 recovery

Reacts to LIP(F8)s (indicating non-functional zones) by putting

 

all ports through the normal insertion process and allowing only

 

those ports not sending LIP(F8)s to insert.

 

 

LIP on port bypass

Requires bypassed ports to send LIP(F7)s to other zone

 

members.

 

 

Auto cascade

When this policy is enabled, the switch will automatically

 

configure itself and any other detected Vixel Inspeed devices in a

 

cascade configuration.

 

Note: This policy must be set to enabled if auto cascading on a

 

port is enabled.

 

 

Bypass at max OS err

When this policy is enabled, the switch bypasses a port when

 

that port exceeds the threshold of Ordered Set errors within a

 

certain timeframe.

 

(This policy applies to Zone 1 only.)

 

The default timeframe is 10 seconds (see the Error Count

 

Threshold setting).

 

 

Bypass at max CRC err

When this policy is enabled, the switch bypasses ports that

 

exceed the set threshold of frame CRC errors. Compares the

 

CRC transmitted with a frame to the CRC calculated in the

 

switch.

 

(This policy applies to Zone 1 only.)

 

 

Bypass on clock delta

When this policy is enabled, the switch compares the detected

err

line clock through the frame and the number of fill words

 

inserted or deleted versus the switch’s internal clock. If the

 

derived clock delta is too high, the port is bypassed.

 

 

Bypass on switch stall

When this policy is enabled and switching mode is on, the switch

 

bypasses a stalled port if the connection is not terminated within

 

a certain timeframe (see the Switch Stall Threshold setting).

 

 

Clear conn on sw stall

When this policy is enabled, the switch clears the port

 

connection on a switch stall after a certain timeframe (see the

 

Switch Stall Threshold setting).
