Table 78: Topology Discovery Flags
The
Topology Discovery Support
flag signals that the node supports further Topology Discovery inquiries. This flag is set to
0 by the drive.
The
Loop Position Valid
flag indicates that multiple Node Identification Data records are reported in the order detected by a
Loop Position Report Primitive. The drive returns only a single Node Identification Data record and sets this flag to 0.
17.3.16 Report Port Speed Capabilities (RPSC)
The Report Port Speed Capabilities ELS provides a mechanism for a port to report its current and potential link operating
speeds. The response to the RPSC payload is an LS_ACC response which indicates speed capabilities and current operating
speeds of each port.
Table 79: RPSC payload
Table 80: RPSC ACC payload
The
Speed Capabilities
fields indicate that the drive is capable of 1Gb/sec, 2 Gb/sec, and 4 Gb/sec operations.
The
Operating Speed
fields indicate the port's current operating speed as follows: 8000h for 1Gb/sec, 4000h for 2 Gb/sec, or
2000h for 4 Gb/sec.
17.4 Common Fibre Channel Services
Common Fibre Channel Service Request uses the Common Transport (CT) Interface to communicate with FC Fabric Servers.
The CT interface provides several Information Units, (CT_IU)s, which provide the transport mechanism between service
requestors and their servers.
In CT_IU frames, the TYPE field in the frame header is set to 20h (Fibre Channel Service). R_CTL is either 02h (FC-4
Device_Data, Unsolicited Control) for a Request or 03h (FC-4 Device_Data, Solicited Control) for a Reply.
Each CT_IU payload starts with a 16 byte CT Header as shown in Table 81.
