E-3 Configuration
6.5 Configuring E-3 Empty Cells
To change the type of cells sent as empty cells (filler that is sent when a port is
not sending data) on an E-3 port, enter the following parameters in AMI:
configuration port e3 emptycells <port> (idle | unassigned)
The <port> variable indicates the E-3 port that is to be modified and the
(idle|unassigned) variable indicates the type of cells that the specified port
sends as filler when the port is not sending data. The default setting is unas-
signed . If there are no E-3 ports on the switch, then this option is disabled.
After the type of empty cells is modified on a E-3 port, the SCP immediately
puts that change into effect on that switch fabric. At the same time, that infor-
mation is entered into the configuration database file so that the change will
be put into effect every time the switch control software starts on that particu-
lar SCP.
