Policy Settings

Policies define switch operation and determine how the switch handles error recovery.

The Policies page displays the switch policies that are enabled or disabled.

To view the policy settings, click Policy. The Policies page appears.

Figure 3-20. Policies Page

The displayed settings are listed below:

Switch Policy	Description

Smart Insertion	When this policy is enabled, the switch LIPs on the insert of a new
	port and waits for LIP(f7)s to return prior to insertion. Also ensures
	that data meets the requirements of Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop
	(FC-AL) and allows sub-policies to be enabled.

Auto Cascade*	When a port is connected to another Vixel Model 335 switch, the
	switch will automatically configure the port to the connected device
	type.

Bad Zone recovery*	The switch reinitializes the zone and will bypass zone ports that are
	down. The switch will bypass all ports when:
	• Zone 1 has a least one transceiver with a signal and the port is in
	auto mode.
	• No ports in the zone are in forced insert mode (Port Control).
	• The zone state is down.

No Data Recovery*	The switch will bypass a port if no K characters (Ordered Sets) are
	detected for 100 usecs. The switch will try to reinsert the port upon
	detection of valid K characters.

LIP(F8) Recovery*	The switch will bypass a port if a LIP(F8) is received. The switch will
	try to reinsert the port when no more LIP (F8)s are received.

LIP on Port Bypass*	When a port is bypassed, it issues LIP(F7)s to other zone members.

Bypass on Bad OS	When a port exceeds the threshold of Ordered Set errors within ten
Threshold*	seconds, the switch bypasses the port. Note: The threshold can be
	adjusted. (224 – 1, the maximum expected error rate is one error
	within 15 minutes.)
