Legacy Port Address Format

Legacy Address Format should be enabled only to permit interoperation with certain older non-FC-SW-2, non-QLogic switches. Enabling this setting under other circumstances will disable zoning that is defined by domain ID and port number. This setting is available only when the FC-SW-2 Compliant setting is disabled. Contact your authorized maintenance provider for assistance in using this feature.

Note: The Legacy Address Format setting must be the same on all switches in the fabric, otherwise the inter-switch links will not connect.

4.9.1.8

Timeout Values

The switch timeout values determine the timeout values for all ports on the switch. Table 4-6describes the switch timeout parameters. The timeout values must be the same for all switches in the fabric.

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

	Table 4-6. Timeout Values
