a. For each port to be configured, type a port name of 24
alphanumeric characters or less in the associated Name field.
The port name should characterize the device to which the

c. Click the check box in the FA N column to enable or disable the
fabric address notification (FAN) feature (default is enabled).
A check mark in the box indicates FAN is enabled. When the
feature is enabled, the port transmits FAN frames after loop
