Setting the system switching mode (root/config/sys/mode)
This command sets the switching or segmenting capability of the device, which allows
increased aggregate bandwidth and decreased latency by only routing data between
opened ports. The default setting is on (enabled).
Disabling the switching capability places the switch into a single shared loop (FC-AL
loop mode) similar to a Fibre Channel hub. In this mode, all port policies are disabled
and the ports share bandwidth.
To change the switch mode:
From the System Configuration menu (root/config/sys), type
mode <setting>
and
press E
NTER
.
To view the current switch mode:
From the Root menu, type
show sysinfo
and press E
NTER
.
Configuring the OS Error Threshold (root/config/sys/oserr)
The Ordered Set Error Threshold is the maximum number of OS errors allowed in a 10-
second interval before a port is bypassed. Setting this value to ‘0’ returns the threshold
to the factory default setting. The default setting is 16777215.
To change the threshold:
1. From the System Configuration menu (root/config/sys), type
oserr
and press
E
NTER
.
The current value appears in brackets before the command prompt.
2. Type the new value and press E
NTER
. The valid range is from 0 to 16777215.
To view the current OS Error Threshold:
