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.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
To set the data speed for the port, click the Speed column for a specific port, and click 2
Gb/sec, 1 Gb/sec, or Negotiate (2 Gb/sec switch) or 1 Gb/sec only (1 Gb/sec switch).
Clicking Negotiate allows the port and attached device to negotiate the data rate.
7.
Use the scroll bar on the right side of the Configure Ports dialog box table to display additional
ports that you want to configure.
