Configuring ports
Use the Configure Ports dialog box to configure names, blocked and unblocked state, 10–100 km
extended distance buffering, enable or disable link incident (LIN) alerts for ports, port type, port
speed, Port Binding, and the Bound WWN.
NOTE:
The Configure Ports dialog box is different for FICON and Open Systems management
styles. Those options available in Open Systems management style only are labeled as such.
The Port Binding feature must be installed before the Port Binding and Bound WWN columns can
be used. See ”
Configuring open systems management server
” on page 113 to install the Port
Binding feature.
Port configuration data is stored in NV-RAM on the switch. Configure data in the following columns
of the Configure Ports dialog box:
•
Port #—You cannot edit this field. The physical port number, from 0-63 on the Director 2/64,
and 0-127 and 132-143 on the Director 2/140. Note that for the Director 2/140, ports
128-131 are internal ports and not available for external connections.
•
Name (Open Systems management style only)—Enter a name for the port. The port names
display in the Port Properties dialog box and elsewhere in the Element Manager to identify the
port.
NOTE:
To identify port numbers for which you want to provide names, place the mouse pointer
over the ports in the Hardware view. As you move over a port, a message displays that identifies
the slot number where the port is installed.
To name ports in FICON management style, use the Configure Addresses dialog box.
