SWITCH
Initiates an editing session in which to change switch configuration settings. The
system displays each parameter one line at a time and prompts you for a value. For
each parameter, enter a new value or press Enter to accept the current value shown in
brackets.
Table 52
describes the Set Config Switch parameters.
NoClose
Loop circuit closure prevention. Enables (True) or disables
(False) the loop’s ability to remain in the open state
indefinitely. True reduces the amount of arbitration on a loop
when there is only one device on the loop. The default is
False.
IOStreamGuard
I/O Stream Guard. Enable (Enable) or disables (Disable) the
suppression of RSCN messages. I/O Stream Guard should be
enabled only for ports connected to initiator devices. The
default is Disable.
VIEnable
Enables (True) or disables (False) VI preference routing. The
default is False. Enabling VIEnable will disable MFSEnable.
PDISCPingEnable
Enables (True) or disables (False) the transmission of ping
messages from the switch to all devices on a loop port. The
default is True.

SymbolicName
Descriptive name for the switch. The name can be up to 32
characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and comma (,). The

R_A_TOV
Resource Allocation Timeout Value. The number of
milliseconds the switch waits to allow two ports to allocate

E_D_TOV
Error Detect Timeout Value. The number of milliseconds a port
is to wait for errors to clear. The default is 2000.
PrincipalPriority
The priority used in the FC-SW-2 principal switch selection
algorithm. 1 is high, 255 is low. The default is 254.
ConfigDescription
Switch configuration description. The configuration description
can be up to 32 characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and
comma (,). The default is 2/8q FC Switch.
InteropMode
Propagates just the active zone set throughout the fabric (True,
compliant) or the entire zoning database (False,
non-compliant). The default is True. (not supported)
LegacyAddressFormat
Available only when the InteropMode parameter is False, this
parameter enables (True) or disables (False) the use of legacy
