2. Select the
Port number
from the list. The current timeout values
are displayed and may not be changed.
•
EDTOV
- (Error detection timeout value in seconds). This is a
short timeout used to detect an error condition. The value
EDTOV represents a reasonable timeout value for detection of
a response to a timed event.
•
RATOV
(Resource allocation timeout value in seconds) - A
long timeout value used to determine when to reinstate a
recovery qualifier. The value RATOV represents EDTOV plus
twice the maximum time that a frame may be delayed within a
fabric and still be delivered.
3. Enter the timeout values you wish to be in effect after the next
system reset in the
After next reset
column.
