Bypassing Ports
67
The following example bypasses all ports:
Server>>change hub port all bypass enable
To disable the bypass and return the port(s) to the loop, a user with administrator
privilege enters
Server>>change hub port [
port
|
all
] bypass disable
The following example disables the bypass and returns all ports to the loop:
Server>>change hub port all bypass disable
Note:
When a port generates three LIP F8 sequences, it is automatically bypassed by
default to prevent the LIP F8 error from bringing down the entire loop. See “Changing
LIP F8 and LIP F7 Settings” on page 71 for relevant command-line interface information;
see “Automatic LIP F8 Word Substitution and Bypass” on page 12 in Chapter 1 for
information on the LIP F8 sequence.
Bypassing Ports: Internet Browser Interface
Note:
Bypassing a port disables access to the device connected to it; perform any
required steps to prevent loss of I/O.
To use the Internet browser interface to force-bypass a port, follow these steps:
1.
Do one of the following:
•
In the hub map (in any screen it appears), click on the port or its LED; in the
Detailed Status screen that appears, click Port Setup at the lower left.
•
In the Status window, click on the entry for the port in the Status column; in the
Detailed Status screen that appears, click Port Setup at the lower left.
•
In the Hub Port Status screen, click Setup, and then click Hub Port Setup. In the
Hub Port Selection screen that appears (see Figure 5-5), click the port you want
to bypass.
