This configuration must be saved (see config save command) and

activated (see config activate command) before it can take effect.

To discard this configuration use the config cancel command.

4. In configuration mode, type the following command at the prompt configure global

switch settings:

sb5_8port (admin-config) #> set config switch

5. Type the following command to configure advanced settings:

sb5_8port (admin-config) #> set advanced on

6. Modify the settings as needed. The following example shows the required settings.

Pay particular attention to the Multiframe Sequencing Mode (sometimes called
Tachyon Mode) MFSMode setting, which must be Hard.

NOTE: Each QLogic SANbox2 Switch must have a unique DomainID for the local
fabric. You should specify these values individually for each switch and not
allowing the switches to select their own DomainID values. Setting DomainIDLock
to True prevents the switch from changing the DomainID when a new switch is
added to fabric.

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 list

press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.
