Fabric Sub-tab
BB Credit Displays the number of buffers that are available to attached
devices for frame receipt.
R_A_TOV Displays the 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.
E_D_TOV Displays the Error Detect Time Out Value in milliseconds.
This timer is used to flag a potential error condition when an
expected response is not received within the set time.
Datafield Size Specifies, in bytes, the largest possible data field size.
Sequence Level
Switching Click box to enable frames of the same sequence from a
particular group to be transmitted together. When this option
is not selected, frames are transmitted interleaved among
multiple sequences. Under normal circumstances,
sequence level switching should be disabled for better
performance. However, some host adapters have issues
when receiving interleaved frames among multiple
sequences.
Disable Device
Probing Set this mode only if the switch N_Port discovery process
(PLOGI, PRLI, INQUIRY) causes an attached device to fail.
When set, devices that do not register with the Name Server
are not present in the Name Server database. Set this mode
only if the switch N_Port discovery process (PLOGI, PRLI,
INQUIRY) causes an attached device to fail.
Per-Frame
Routing Priority Choose to select or deselect Per-Frame Routing Priority.
When set, the virtual channel ID is used in conjunction with
a frame header to form the final virtual channel ID.
VC Encoded
Address Mode Set this mode only if the fabric includes a StorageWorks
Fibre Channel 8 or 16 switch.
When set, the frame source and destination address use an
address format that is compatible with StorageWorks Fibre
Channel 8 or 16 switches.
This option is greyed out if the switch is in Interop Mode.
