Timeout Values

The switch timeout values determine the timeout values for all ports on the switch. Table 4-4describes the switch timeout parameters. The R_A_TOV, R_T_TOV, or E_D_TOV values must be the same for all switches in the fabric.

Note: Timeout values can only be changed if the switch operational state is offline.
