HP 2/8q Fibre Channel manual Set Config port parameters

Command Line Interface

Table 51: Set Config port parameters

Parameter	Description
AdminState	Port administrative state:
	■ Online – Activates and prepares the port to send data. This
	is the default.
	■ Offline – Prevents the port from receiving signal and
	accepting a device login.
	■ Diagnostics – Prepares the port for testing and prevents the
	port from accepting a device login.
	■ Down – Disables the port by removing power from the port
	lasers.
LinkSpeed	Transmission speed: 2 Gbps or Auto. The default is Auto.
PortType	Port type: GL, G, F, FL, Donor. The default is GL.
SymbolicPortName	Descriptive name for the port. The name can be up to 32
	characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and comma (,). The
	default is Port n where n is the port number.
ALFairness	Arbitration loop fairness. Enables (True) or disables (False) the
	switch’s priority to arbitrate on the loop. The default is False.
DeviceScanEnabled	Enables (True) or disables (False) the scanning of the
	connected device for FC-4 descriptor information during login.
	The default is True.
ForceOfflineRSCN	Enables (False) or disables (True) the immediate transmission
	of RSCN messages when communication between a port and
	a device is interrupted. If enabled, the RSCN message is
	delayed for 200 ms for locally attached devices and 400 ms
	for devices connected through other switches. The default is
	False. This parameter is ignored if IOStreamGuard is enabled.
ARB_FF	Send ARB_FF (True) instead of IDLEs (False) on the loop. The
	default is False.
InteropCredit	Interoperability credit. The number of buffer-to-buffer credits
	per port. 0 means the default (16) is unchanged. Changing
	interoperability credits is necessary only for E_Ports that are
	connected to non-FC-SW-2-compliant switches. (not
	supported)
ExtCredit	Extended credits. The number of port buffer credits that this
	port can acquire from donor ports. The default is 0.
FANEnable	Fabric address notification. Enables (True) or disables (False)
	the communication of the FL_Port address, port name, and
	node name to the logged-in NL_Port. The default is True.
LCFEnable	Link control frame preference routing. Enables (True) or
	disables (False) preferred routing of frames with R_CTL =
	1100. The default is False. Enabling LCFEnable will disable
	MFSEnable.
MFSEnable	Multi-Frame Sequence bundling. Prevents (True) or allows
	(False) the interleaving of frames in a sequence. The default is
	False. Enabling MFSEnable disables LCFEnable and
	VIEnable.
MSEnable	Management server enable. Enables (True) or disables (False)
	management server on this port. The default is True.
