16.1.3 Port Configuration
Fiber Channel - Port Setup
Fiber Profile:
Predefined Fiber Channel test profiles or Default setting
Speed:
Selectable test rates via drop-down menu:
1G (1.0625 Gbps)
2G (2.125 Gbps)
4G (4.25 Gbps)
8G (8.50 Gbps)
10G (10.52 Gbps)
Link Protocol:
Enables or Disables the PSP
Enabling the Primitive Sequence Protocol (PSP) allows link management
Disabling the Primitive Sequence Protocol (PSP) forces the port into an Active state with no link management
PSP is an Ordered Set transmitted repeatedly which is used to establish and maintain a link.
PSP also when this setting is enabled
When a Primitive Sequence is received and recognized, a corresponding Primitive Sequence or Idle is transmitted
in response. Recognition of a Primitive Sequence requires consecutive detection of 3 instances of the same
Ordered Set.
The Primitive Sequences supported by the standard are:
Offline (OLS)
Not Operational (NOS)
Link Reset (LR)
Link Reset Response (LRR)
Topology:
Point-to-Point (P-to-P) mode is supported.
Fibre Channel defines three topologies, namely, Point-to-Point, Arbitrated Loop, and Fabric however Point-to-Point
topology is the simplest one.
In Point-to-Point mode, only two ports are used, connected by a fiber optic link. The transmitter of each port is connected
directly to the receiver of the opposite port. There is no ambiguity in addressing, and there is no question of availability.
Login:
Disable only. Port login will be a future option.
Fibre Channel defines several types of ports. First of all, any port on a node device, (e.g., a PC, is an N_Port as
compared with a port on a Fabric, which is an F_Port).
Ports that connect switches together are called E_Ports. They generally do not need to follow Fibre Channel rules and
protocols.
Link Management:
Enable or Disable
