5. If a switch supports BB Credit, the RX BB Credit column replaces the 10-100km column.
Use this to set minimum and maximum allowable port BB credit values:
a. Right-click in the RX-BB Credit column to display the RX BB Credits dialog box as shown in
Figure 30 :
Figure 30 RX BB Credit dialog box
Set the values as follows:
• For switches without buffer pools, use Set all... to set all ports to a single value or Set
all to maximum which set all ports to a maximum BB credit value.
• For switches with buffer pools, this dialog box allows you to Set all, which sets all ports
to a single value or select Distribute, which evenly distributes the pool buffers among
all ports.
b. Confirm your changes:
• Clicking OK changes the values in the Configure Port dialog box.
• Clicking Activate changes the values on the switch.
6. Enable or disable LIN alerts for the port by clicking the check box in the LIN Alerts column.
When a check mark displays, LIN alerts are enabled.
NOTE: The factory default for LIN alerts is enabled.
7. Select a port type by clicking in the Type box and selecting from the list.
8. To bind a device with a specific WWN or nickname to the port, click the Port Binding check
box to display a check mark. Then enter the WWN or configured nickname for the device into
the Bound WWN column. The device that you bind to the port will have exclusive connection
to that port.
NOTE: If you have configured Port Binding and click Activate, a warning dialog box appears if
one or more of the nodes attached to a port does not match the WWN or nickname configured in
the Bound WWN column. This warning box displays a list of all attached nodes that will be logged
off if you continue. If you click Continue, these nodes will log off and the port will only attach to the
device with the WWN or nickname configured in the Bound WWN column.
If you have configured Port Binding and click Activate, an error message may display if the format for
the WWN entered in the Bound WWN column is not valid (not in xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx format) or if
you enter a nickname that has not been configured through the Element Manager.
