Clearing a stale entry
A stale entry is a device that logged in and logged off but, because a port went down after an FLOGI
was received, the device failed to receive the message. The entry in the FCoE Connected Devices
table becomes stale and you must clear it manually.
NOTE
Clearing a stale entry is not supported for Network OS devices.
1. Select a virtual FCoE port from the FCoE Configuration dialog box and click Connected Devices.
The Connected Devices dialog box displays.
2. Select one or more rows from the Connected Devices table and click Disconnect.
The DCB Confirmation and Status dialog displays.
The selected connected device should be cleared from the switch cache and from the table.
Note, however, that the connected devices might still be active and this operation could
potentially stop traffic between the connected devices and the switch.
3. Review the changes carefully before you accept them.
4. Click Start to apply the changes, or click Close to abort the operation.
On closing the DCB Confirmation and Status dialog box, the FCoE Configuration Dialog
refreshes the data and the latest information about the FCoE ports are displayed.
