Telnet Commands
level 1 long distance, and long for level 2 long distance. In the 
switchShow output, the format is Lx, where x is the long distance 
level number, except for level 0, which is not displayed in 
switchShow.
Operands This command has the following operands: 
slotnumber Specify the slot number in an ED-12000B switch. The slot 
number must be followed by a slash ( / ) and the port 
number. 
The ED-12000B has a total of 10 slots counted from 1 to 10. 
Slot number 5 and 6 are control processor cards, and slot 1 
through 4 and 7 through 10 are switch cards. On each switch 
card, there are 16 ports counted from the bottom 0 to 15. A 
particular port must be represented by both slot number (1 
through 4 or 7 through 10) and port number (0 through 15).
This operand is not required for switches that do not have 
blades.
portnumber The port number to be configured. Valid values for port 
number vary depending on the switch type. This operand is 
required.
distance This operand indicates the distance to the connected port. 
This operand is required. The valid values for this operand 
are:
L0 = Deconfigure port to be regular switch port. This option 
supports up to 10 km links for 1 G, or 5 km links for 2 G.
LE = Level E mode is for E_ports for distances beyond 5km 
and up to 10km especially for 2 G link speeds. LE does not 
require extended fabric license.
L1 =Level-one long distance, up to 50 km for a 1 Gb and a 2 
Gb link.
L2 = Level-two long distance, up to 100 km for a 1 Gb link 
and 50 km for a 2 Gb link. 
vc_translation_
link_init
Specify 1 to activate long distance link initialization mode. 
Specify 0 to deactivate this mode. The default value is 0
