Chapter 4 Configuring Interface Buffers

Configuring Interface Buffers

Enabling Buffer-to-Buffer Credit Recovery

Buffer-to-buffer credit recovery on ISLs (E or TE ports) is enabled by default.

Detailed Steps

To use buffer-to-buffer credit recovery on a port, follow these steps:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

switch# config t

Enters configuration mode.

 

switch(config)#

 

Step 2

 

 

switch(config)# interface fc 1/1

Selects the interface and enters interface

 

switch(config-if)#

configuration submode.

Step 3

 

 

switch(config-if)# switchport fcbbscn

Enables buffer-to-buffer credit recovery on the

 

 

interface.

 

 

 

 

switch(config-if)#no switchport fcbbscn

Disables (default) buffer-to-buffer credit recovery

 

 

on the interface.

 

 

 

Enabling the Buffer-to-Buffer State Change Number

switch(config-if)#

configuration submode.

Step 3

 

 

switch(config-if)# switchport fcbbscn

Enables the use of buffer-to-buffer state change

 

 

number for PLOGIs and FLOGIs on the interface.

 

 

 

 

switch(config-if)#no switchport fcbbscn

Disables (default) the use of buffer-to-buffer state

 

 

change number for PLOGIs and FLOGIs on the

 

 

interface.
