Table 13-14. Port Configuration Parameters (Continued)

Parameter

Description

 

 

PortType

Port types:

 

„ 1/2/4-Gbps Ports: GL, G, F, FL, Donor. The default is GL.

 

„ 10-Gbps Ports: GL, G, F, FL, Donor. The default is GL.

 

The Donor port type disables the port and makes the buffer

 

credits available to other ports. Refer to the ExtCredit port

 

configuration parameter.

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)

(1/2/4-Gbps ports only)

the switch’s priority to arbitrate on the loop. The default is

False.

 

DeviceScanEnabled

Enables (True) or disables (False) the scanning of the con-

 

nected device for FC-4 descriptor information during login.

 

The default is True.

ForceOfflineRSCN

Enables (False) or disables (True) the immediate transmis-

 

sion of RSCN messages when communication between a

 

port and a device is interrupted. If enabled, the RSCN mes-

 

sage 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 is unchanged. Default

 

buffer-to-buffer credits are 16 per port.

 

Changing interoperability credits is necessary only for

 

E_Ports that are connected to non-FC-SW-2-compliant

 

switches. Contact your authorized maintenance provider for

 

assistance in using this feature.

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.
