FcFairArb
Turns the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) arbitration fairness on or off. Enabling this feature causes the FibreBridge to
follow the arbitration fairness rules on the FC-AL.
Limits: applies to all Fibre Channel ports
Default: on, enabling arbitration fairness
Actions:
setFcFairArb [enabled | disabled]
Information:
getFcFairArb
SaveConfiguration
FcFullDuplex
FcFullDuplex enabled allows full duplex Fibre Channel communication between the FibreBridge and other Fibre Channel
devices. Disable FcFullDuplex results in half duplex mode.
Limits: applies to all Fibre Channel ports
Default: enabled
Actions:
setFcFullDuplex [enabled | disabled]
Information:
get FcFullDuplex
SaveConfiguration
FcHard
Used to enable or disable Fibre Channel hard address assignment. Under soft addressing, the FibreBridge loop address is
assigned during loop initialization. Use
FcHardAddress
(described below) if you enable hard addressing.
Limits: applies to all Fibre Channel ports
Default: enabled, or hard addressing
Actions:
setFcHard [enabled | disabled]
Information:
get FcHard
SaveConfiguration
FcHardAddress
Sets/displays the value used as the FC-AL hard address. This hexadecimal value represents the address the FibreBridge will try
to use if hard addressing is enabled. When an optional address is not present, the current value is displayed.
Limits: Each port has individual hard address value.
Default: 3 (Fibre port 0) 4 (port 1) 5 (port 2)
0 < = hard id < = 0x7d
Actions:
set FcHard Address [fp |[address]]
Information:
get FcHardAddress [fp]
SaveConfiguration
verbose return: Port n FcHardAddress = 0x01
FcInitiator
Allows FibreBridge to operate as an initiator on the Fibre Channel network, an attribute required for features such as Extended
Copy.
Limits: enabled, disabled
Default: disabled
Actions:
set FcInitiator [enabled | disabled]
Information:
get FcInitiator
SaveConfiguration
FcPortFailure
Controls the behavior of a FC port when the FibreBridge is operating in AddressMap B. (failover) mode.
Limits: [Recover] will try to reset the FibreBridge to its pre-failover state. the recover mode must be past the index of the failed FC
port
[Force] will create one of three types of simulated port failure on the specified active FC port for testing and demonstration.
.....
[loopdown] loss of FC synchronization (pulled cable, bad GBIC, etc.)
.....
[portdown] simulates ISP chip hardware failure as detected by a fabric
.....
[Isperr] simulates an internal ISP chip fatal error
Actions:
FcPortFailure fp [recover| force [loopdown |
portdown | isperr] ]
Information:
none
FcPortList
Returns a list of available Fibre Channel ports and their current status.
Limits: valid status values are OK and Failed
Actions:
none
Information:
FcPortList
Returns: [line count] [fp] [status]
