Basic Troubleshooting

Verifying PRLI Data

The router returns the PRLI (preliminary login) response data as specified in Table 12.

In the default configuration, the router returns PRLI Data (PRLI Accept Payload) with the Target bit SET and the Initiator bit CLEAR. However, some configurations require the Initiator bit be SET, such as in router-to-router configurations. See the Fibre Channel Overrides Menu for more information about changing the initiator bit.
