The saved configuration will be stored on the Connectrix service
processor and in the Address Configuration Library. Refer to

information on accessing this library.

the configuration (or click Cancel to close without activating).
If you click Cancel after saving, your configuration will still be added to
the Address Configuration Library, but without being activated.
Address Parameters The address parameters are described below:
◆
Addr — Port address. Each port has a corresponding port address
that equals the physical port number plus four. For example, the
address for port 0 is 4 (0+4).
◆
Port Name — User-defined name assigned to the address. Up to
24 alphanumeric characters are allowed, including spaces,
hyphens, and underscores.
◆
Blocked
— If the box is checked, the port is blocked. Blocked
ports continuously transmit offline sequences (OLS), but cannot
communicate to an attached device. Click a box to add or remove
a checkmark.
To block or unblock all ports, right-click the matrix to the right of
the Blocked column. This displays a menu of options that include
the following:
• Block all ports — Blocks communication between all ports.
Note, however, that if you do this you must then unblock at
least one port to allow a channel connection on which the
switch control unit port (CUP) is defined.
• Unblock all ports — Unblocks all port addresses that are
currently blocked. This allows communication from all port
addresses in the director.
• Clear all — Clears the prohibit status of all port addresses and
unblocks all ports.
