Extending Port Transmission Distance

You can extend the distance over which an F_Port or G_Port port can transmit by

borrowing buffer credits from other ports. Refer to the SANbox 5000 Series Fibre

Channel Switch Installation Guide for information about extended credits and

transmission distance. Enter the Set Config Port command to borrow and

reallocate port credits as shown in the following example:

SANbox #> admin start

SANbox (admin) #> config edit

SANbox (admin-config) #> set config port

A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.

Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.

If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the attributes

for the port being processed, press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.

If you wish to terminate the configuration process completely, press 'qq' or

'QQ' and the ENTER key to so do.
