This command cannot be executed on an enabled system except for application attributes. The
application attributes can be configured when the system is enabled; to configure any other
settings, you must first disable the system, using the
switchdisable
command.
The
configure
command is navigated by entering a series of hierarchical menus. Each
top-level menu and its associated submenus consists of a text prompt, a list of acceptable
values (if appropriate), and a default value (shown in brackets). The default value is used with
the carriage return, which is a special input case (see “
Special Inputs ” on page 172).
Switch Fabric Settings
There are a number of settings that control the overall behavior and operation of the fabric.
Some of these values, such as the domain, are normally assigned by the fabric and may differ
from one switch to another. However, other parameters, such as the buffer-to-buffer credit or
the time out values, can be changed to suit particular applications or operating environments,
but must be in agreement among all switches to allow formation of the fabric.
Table 13 defines the settings affecting the fabric that can be changed. Each field is described
following the table.
