LIP (F8) Recovery Policy When a port is already inserted into a zone, the port
transforms F8 Failure notifications into F7 Initialization
notifications. When this occurs, the port is bypassed
and F7 Initialization notifications are allowed in the
zone. Once the initialization is complete, the Bad Zone
Recovery Policy is operational and prevents a port that
continues to transmit F8 Failure notifications from
inserting into the zone.
Note: If this policy is disabled while the Bad Zone
Recovery policy is enabled, a zone that does go
down will still allow the Bad Zone Recovery
policy to reset the zone and allow ports to be
reinserted.
When enabled, this policy prevents devices that send
F8 Failure notifications from inserting into a zone. The
ability to remove devices that generate F8 Failure
notifications automatically and instantaneously
guarantees continual system operation.
When disabled, this policy allows devices that send F8
Failure notifications to insert into a zone and does not
consider F8 Failure notifications when determining
whether to insert a device or not.
SEOC Policy Serial ID Exchange on Connect. This policy is an
internal diagnostic setting and should remain disabled.
Smart Insertion Policy This policy is the default operating mode for all ports
and determines what the switch looks for prior to
allowing a port to insert into a zone. When the policy is
enabled, an external device is sent an F7 Initialization
notification by the switch until an F7 Initialization
notification is received from the device. Once an F7
Initialization notification is received, the port is inserted
in the zone.
This policy takes precedence over all other policies.
When this policy is disabled, no additional policies are
operational, and as long as a port transmits a signal of
the correct frequency and amplitude, the port will be
allowed in the zone.
Clear on Stall Policy In situations where the switch is operating in switching
mode, some devices may fall into an operating mode
where the device has opened a target but has not
released the connection to the target. When this policy
is enabled, the switch can detect this condition and
automatically recover when this situation arises.
Bypass on No Comma Policy The switch detects the amount of time a data stream
has gone without receiving a comma. The time setting
is set to 100 (.001 seconds). When this policy is
enabled, the switch bypasses the disruptive port when
the threshold is exceeded.
