a. For each port to be configured, type a port name of 24
alphanumeric characters or less in the Name field. The port
name should characterize the device to which the port is
attached.

BB_Credits each (470 credits total). Ports
0
through
3
,
8
through 11 , 16 through 19 , and 24 through 27 share buffer pool
zero. Ports 4 through 7 , 12 through 15 , 20 through 23 , and 28
through 31 share buffer pool one. Each port can be assigned
between two and 120 credits, provided the total credits
allocated to all ports in a pool does not exceed 235. The default
value is 12 credits per port. Type the desired value in the
RX
BB_Credit column.
c. Click the check box in the LIN Alerts column to enable or
disable link incident (LIN) alerts (default is enabled). A check
mark indicates alerts are enabled. When enabled and a port
incident occurs, an alert indicator (yellow triangle) displays at
the
Hardware View and a message is sent to e-mail recipients.
d. Click the check box in the FAN column to enable or disable the
fabric address notification feature (default is enabled). A check
mark indicates FAN is enabled. When enabled, an FL_Port
transmits FAN frames after loop initialization to verify FC-AL
