Triggering with Mixed Ports
When any one of the conditions specified in the
Wait For Any Of These/And NOT These
panes
of a transition to trigger is encountered in the data stream, the analyzer triggers all ports in the
domain and continues capture until the Post Trigger Fill is complete.
Figure 60: Mixed Ports in a Domain
An example is a mixed port domain where the FC ports in one port pair are configured with a
trigger. When the trigger condition is encountered in the FC port-pair, all ports in the domain
capture until the buffer post-fill operation is complete regardless of their protocol.
Ports are configured by state machine. You can apply the configuration of the current state
machine to all state machines for that protocol and blade type by clicking the
Apply to All Port
Pairs button in the Capture and Trigger Setup tab.
To define values for a setting for the ports in link or domain simultaneously, select the link or
domain field for that setting (column) in the
General Settings tab of the Configuration Editor, and
choose the value. That value is now applied to all applicable ports for that field. Fields for ports for
which the value does not apply are grayed out. For example, in a mixed port domain of FC and GE
ports, the Scrambling setting only applies to the FC ports, and the GE ports in that column are
grayed out. See
“General Settings” on page 93 for more information.
Note: The only protocols that allow a state machine to be applied to blades of another type
are FC and SAS/SATA. 2G, 4G, or 8G FC configurations can be applied to one another’s state
machines. 2G, 4G, or 8G FC configurations can be applied to a 16G FC state machine, but a
16G FC configuration cannot be applied to other FC state machines. 10G FC cannot be
applied to an FC blade of another speed.
3G SAS configurations can be applied to 6G and 12G SAS/SATA state machines, but 6G and
12G SAS/SATA configurations cannot be applied to a 3G SAS/SATA state machine.
