Configuring fabric parameters
When you configure fabric parameters for the Core Switch 2/64 or SAN Director 2/128 configured with
two logical switches, the configuration is on a logical-switch basis. This means that for each logical switch,
you must configure fabric parameters individually.
NOTE: You must disable the switch before you can configure fabric parameters.
You can configure the following fabric parameters with the Configure tab and Fabric subtab of the Switch
Admin module (as shown in Figure 9 on page 50):
• BB Credit: Configures the number of buffers that are available to attached devices for frame receipt.
The default BB Credit is 16. The range is 1 through 27.
• R_A_TOV: Resource allocation time-out value (in milliseconds). This variable works with the E_D_TOV
to determine switch actions when presented with an error condition. The default is 10000. The
possible range is 4000 through 120000.
