368 Administering ISL Trunking

3.

Change LD/L1/L2/L0.5 back to L0 (of non-buffer limited ports).

4.

If you are in buffer-limited mode on the LD port, then increase the estimated distance.

These changes are implemented only after disabling (portDisable) and enabling (portEnable) the 

buffer-limited port (or buffer-limited switch).
Reconfiguring a port to LD from another mode can result in the port being disabled for lack of buffers–this 

does not apply to the SAN Switch 4/32, SAN Switch 4/32B and 4/256 SAN Director (using FC4-16 and 

FC4-32 port blades). If this happens:

•

In Fabric OS v4.2.x, reconfigure the disabled LD port back to the original mode.

•

In Fabric OS v4.4.0 and later, specify a slightly shorter distance for the 

desired_distance

 

parameter in the 

portCfgLongDistance

 command.
