	Table B-9. Set Config Port Parameters (Continued)

	Parameter	Description

	AutoPerfTuning	Automatic performance tuning for FL_Ports only. The
		default is True.
		If AutoPerfTuning is enabled (True) and the port is
		an FL_Port, MFSEnable is automatically enabled.
		LCFEnable and VIEnable are overridden to False.
		If AutoPerfTuning is disabled (False),
		MFSEnable, LCFEnable, and VIEnable retain
		their original values.
	LCFEnable	Link control frame preference routing. This parameter
		appears only if AutoPerfTuning is False. Enables
		(True) or disables (False) preferred routing of frames
		with R_CTL = 1100 (Class 2 responses). The default
		is False. Enabling LCFEnable will disable
		MFSEnable.
	MFSEnable	Multi-Frame Sequence bundling. This parameter
		appears only if AutoPerfTuning is False. Prevents
		(True) or allows (False) the interleaving of frames in a
		sequence. The default is True. Enabling MFSEnable
		disables LCFEnable and VIEnable.
	VIEnable	Virtual Interface (VI) preference routing. This
		parameter appears only if AutoPerfTuning is False.
		Enables (True) or disables (False) VI preference
		routing. The default is False. Enabling VIEnable will
		disable MFSEnable.
	MSEnable	Management server enable. Enables (True) or
		disables (False) management server on this port. The
		default is True.
	NoClose	Loop circuit closure prevention. Enables (True) or
		disables (False) the loop’s ability to remain in the open
		state indefinitely. True reduces the amount of
		arbitration on a loop when there is only one device on
		the loop. The default is False.
	IOStreamGuard	I/O Stream Guard. Enable (Enable) or disables
		(Disable) the suppression of RSCN messages. I/O
		Stream Guard should be enabled only for ports
		connected to initiator devices. The default is Disable.
	PDISCPingEnable	Enables (True) or disables (False) the transmission of
		ping messages from the switch to all devices on a
		loop port. The default is True.
